A single-family villa was designed on two above-ground floors and one basement level, featuring a reinforced concrete load-bearing structure and masonry infill walls. The dual-pitched roof was built with concrete tiles. The works involved the renovation of the building envelope and its compliance with the energy-saving standards required by current regulations (Law 10/91, Legislative Decree 192/2005, Legislative Decree 311/2006, Presidential Decree 59/2009).
The heating system was designed with a methane-fired condensing boiler, climate-controlled regulation, autonomous heat metering, and a horizontal single-pipe distribution system. A solar thermal system was installed, covering approximately 81% of the annual domestic hot water demand.
The building envelope underwent a thermo-hygrometric analysis, ensuring transmittance values below current regional limits. The project achieved a winter energy performance index of 51.63 kWh/m² per year, in line with the energy-efficiency requirements for climate zone E.
The foundations and perimeter walls were built in reinforced concrete, while the prefabricated burial niches reduced construction time. The hermetic closures ensure gas tightness and durability. The concrete paving incorporates stone inserts that guide visitors along a symbolic path.
The entrance is characterized by an architectural portal marking the transition between the existing structures and the new intervention. A ceremonial courtyard with reflecting pools creates a space for contemplation. The project followed an integrated safety approach, including a Safety and Coordination Plan (PSC) and project-management tools to optimize time and resources.
