12 Sep Housing assistance: new project in Kaltern
For the municipality of Kaltern, South Tyrol, we are designing a new facility dedicated to housing assistance for the elderly. The building, based on an inclusive and relational approach, will expand and enhance services for the elderly. The work involves the extension and renovation of the existing ‘Heinrich von Rottenburg Retirement Home Foundation’. The new construction, built to ‘ClimateHouseA’ standards, will be a contemporary building in strong connection with nature and the surrounding landscape. A harmonious volume, pure and essential, aimed at tranquillity and a sense of welcome. The existing structure will also be restructured in some of its parts, favouring access between old and new. The result of a major research process, the newly built residence will fit into the existing context while maintaining a clear identity. A work in itself capable, at the same time, of harmonising with the existing architecture. A valuable project designed for the well-being of residents, staff and visitors.
