barbieri | architects – studio and offices [192]
Piovene Rocchette (VI), Italy
300 m² 900 m³
design: 2011
built: 2012
The new headquarters of Barbieri | Architects is located within a building complex consisting of a historic structure facing the urban roadway and a rear building constructed in the 1970s.
The project involved both structures, including the complete redevelopment of the more recent building through the addition of an elevated extension and a series of energy efficiency upgrades. Concurrently, targeted restoration works were carried out on the historic structure, aimed at enhancing its performance.
The functional distribution of the spaces is designed to meet the operational needs of the studio: the ground floor houses the meeting room, the first floor is dedicated to workspaces, and the second floor accommodates a small apartment with a terrace. Accessibility has been improved by the installation of an elevator, serving both the historic structure and the newer one.
The energy efficiency upgrades have elevated the complex to an A3 energy class, achieved through targeted interventions on the building envelope and the optimization of its systems.
The elevated extension was constructed using a prefabricated timber structure, assembled off-site. This approach allowed for optimized construction times and reduced the impact of the works. Timber, in addition to providing lightness and optimal static performance, contributes to the overall sustainability of the project.
