The reconstruction of the Orchidea Condominium, which took place after the 2012 earthquake in Emilia, represents a fundamental step towards the restoration of the community. The new building was designed following the exact shape of the pre-existing building, but with a more contemporary interpretation.
The use of innovative materials was crucial to ensure the safety and comfort of the inhabitants. A thermal coat was created to improve energy efficiency, while high-performance windows offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The sunshades not only enhance the aesthetics of the building, but also provide effective solar protection. Finally, the porcelain stoneware parapets add a touch of elegance and durability.
This reconstruction not only restores an important landmark for the community, but also represents a commitment to sustainability and innovation in the construction sector, aiming to create modern and functional living spaces.
