The project site is a prime urban landscape reserved for the completion of Ponte S. Giovanni’s urban center. Programmed by the Master Plan, the site is a tract of flats of 19,900 m2 bordering in the north-west with railroad track (F.C.U.), in the south-east with Via Adriatica, in the north with Via Manzoni and in the west with a private property.

Being the first residential project based on sustainable design principles, the project makes uses of the energy conservation strategies, efficient technology and low impact materials/resources. In particular, every dwelling place is equipped with a “greenhouse”, that captures the sunlight, strictly connected to the living areas.

Programmatic needs include urban redevelopment and conversion of the industrial area into a central multi-use development area. The multi-use urban development is distinguished by a succession of public areas, plazas and public green areas. The residential and commercial areas are directly connected to the public service facilities. The four building blocks required are to be identified by the letters E, F, G and H. The F and G buildings will be of residential use; the ground floor of the residential blocks will house commercial activities and public service facilities. On the south-west limit of the site the H building will be used for commercial activities; on the north side the E building houses retail business on the ground floor and private office space taking over as one ascends.
The parking facilities can be reached by a new roadway connected to Via Adriatica and Via Manzoni.
