The multi-family building under construction in Putignano consists of 8 residential units and one office. Designed in 2015 as a traditional building, it was rethought in just over a year to achieve Passivhaus certification, and construction began in April 2016. Completion of the works is scheduled for July 2018.

The Ecohotel Bonapace is a hospitality facility located in the municipality of Nago Torbole, approximately 1 km from the northern shore of Lake Garda. The structure consists of a basement made of reinforced concrete, unheated and outside the thermal envelope, which houses service areas supporting the operation of the facility. The three above-ground floors, entirely built with a timber load-bearing structure, accommodate the 20 guest rooms along with related ancillary spaces located on the ground floor. The flat roof mainly serves as a solarium area; it also hosts the solar and photovoltaic panels required for the building’s operation, as well as the technical plant room containing the ventilation systems with heat recovery.

The single-family building under construction in Barga represents one of the first masonry Passivhaus buildings built in a Mediterranean climate, in line with the traditional characteristics of the area. The design work began in 2015, and construction is expected to be completed in 2018. Word of mouth has already reached many interested parties, even though the building is still under construction.

La Provvidenza is a youth community center located in Pergine Valsugana, renovated and extended according to the Passivhaus standard in 2015. The client is the Parish of Pergine Valsugana which, through Don Remo, proposed to the community in 2009 the redevelopment of the building. It is precisely from the client’s request, driven by a strong sensitivity to environmental sustainability and the conscious use of resources, that the entire project and the idea of redeveloping it according to high energy standards were born. The building, now at the end of its life cycle, dates back to the 1920s and has long served as a gathering and meeting place for social groups and cultural associations in Pergine. Don Remo’s request was clear: to transform the building into something innovative and, above all, environmentally respectful. In response, the designers proposed to redevelop the building according to the Passivhaus standard, a proposal that was welcomed positively and with great openness by the client.
