The Design

About Home PE3 Casa Residencial

A Home PE3 é uma casa residencial situada em Cittadella, Pádua, Itália. O projeto dialoga com as muralhas fortificadas em tijolo da histórica cidade medieval. Duas grandes paredes revestidas em tijolo aparente definem a forma do edifício e protegem o interior voltado para o jardim. Uma versão personalizada do tijolo MAAX foi produzida em parceria com uma histórica fábrica de tijolos e instalada com uma câmara de ar ventilada, criando uma parede que respira. A área de implantação é de cerca de 500 metros quadrados, com pavimento térreo, primeiro pavimento e um subsolo destinado a garagem e adega. Os espaços interiores são flexíveis e podem se transformar à medida que a família cresce.

Production Technology
For this project, with the historic brick Company Terreal Italia SanMarco, we designed a custom version of the MAAX brick that is the main material used for this house. It was installed with the most advance cladding techniques leaving a ventilation air gap between the structure and the bricks to make a breathing wall.
Design Challenge
The creative process for this project followed two well defined path that, at the end, converged in one unique result. The dialogue with the medieval walls of the historic city of Cittadella and the will of a sustainable green architecture.Those were the two main challenge that were developed in the research to accomplish the final result.
Research
The research started by analyzing all he possible brick cladding technology and energy saving possibility throught the use of green materials. 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.
Project Duration
The project of Home PE3 from the design to the final realization took almost three years, from 2018 to 2020.
The house is located in Cittadella, Padua in Italy
