While ‘re ection’ is the keyword chosen by the architect to describe this project, constructor Giorgio Rigo head of Giorgio Rigo Costruzioni , has another one: ‘quality.’ “I come from a family of constructors. My grandfather was doing this in 1959, and you know why we have always been successful? Because we always looked for quality, starting from the plot we decided to buy,” he explains. And in this case, the location is really something special, although the several limitations posed by the authority made it a challenge to build from the very beginning. e risk of having four houses that were too similar was very high. “What I needed were houses that could t and ‘talk’ with the surrounding environment but that could become unique places to live, as well,” says Rigo. “By choosing a high-quality product like Trespa® Meteon® we could achieve this, and the panels uni ed and diversi ed the houses at the same time.” Moreover, according to Rigo, the particular pattern of the panels chosen by the architect even enhanced the Trespa® products. “Apart from the aesthetical e ect, we chose Trespa® panels because we wanted to have also the lowest impact on the environment in terms of energy consumption,” clari es architect Rossetti. “ e ventilated façade is a high performance solution to save energy. Moreover, these panels are made of up to 70% natural bres, they are durable and don’t need any particular maintenance.” e houses have almost no-emission systems, eco-friendly insulation, hidden solar panels and home automation for the control and automation of lighting and heating. “Easy maintenance and energy saving may not seem that relevant in a luxury house, but this is actually very important for the durability of the building itself and, of course, for the environment. Moreover, having a house that always looks good without too much maintenance is de nitely an added value,” adds Rossetti. e four buildings are a bit di erent in shape, although their size and structure are similar (230-250 m 2 ). All of them are composed of two main blocks, a lower one more solid and heavy and a lighter upper one. is light look is given by the re ecting properties of the Trespa® Meteon® panels, in particular the Naturals Hardened Brown and Metallics Malachite Green, Aluminium Grey and Graphite Grey decors that were installed. Each of them re ects the light in a di erent way during the day, creating a special relationship between the home and the trees, the sky, the leaves and the sunlight. “ e panels are the trait d’union of the buildings, but each tenant could choose the colour, and thus give a personal touch to his own house,” says Rigo. “As in previous cases, we decided to go for a high quality product, hoping that the customers would understand our choice. And they did.” Rigo does not hide his pride and satisfaction for the result. “We managed to create something unique, and we can see that it is being appreciated not only by other architects and professionals in the eld, but also by those who actually live there,” he adds. “I think we really did justice to the special location we worked on.” ■ “We managed to create something unique, and we can see that it is being appreciated.” Giorgio Rigo, head of Giorgio Rigo Costruzioni Experience Trespa 12
