About Home PE3 Residential House
Home PE3 is a residential house located in Cittadella, Padua, Italy. The design responds to the brick fortified walls of the historic medieval city. Two large walls clad in exposed brick define the form of the building and protect the interior toward the garden. A custom version of the MAAX brick was produced with a historic brick company and installed with a ventilation air gap, creating a breathing wall. The footprint is about 500 square meters, with a ground floor, a first floor and a basement for garage and cellar. The interior spaces are flexible and can change as the family grows.

The goal was to obtain a great confort and and "easy" constructive system that will guarantee a rapid, clean and efficient construction method. We, with the Client, strongly believed in this sustainable approach and the results, now that house in inhabitant, are already evident in the energy and consumption saving.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the context and in particular by the brick fortified walls of the historic medieval city of Cittadella, in Italy. The choice of using brick as the main material is underlined by the use of it also inside the house as a distinctive element for all the the levels of the building. Furthermore, the score of the openings on the brick facades are deliberately in assonance with the elements that characterize the surrounding walls of the historic city.
