(Capacity: 500) – Verziano (Brescia), 2018 – In Progress


The aesthetic and functional characteristics of the project are the result of rational design work, aimed at starting a process of rehabilitation and reintegration of the inmate into society.
In order to obtain the best thermal-acoustic performance, specific work is planned on the building external walls in order to define the best energy performance of the opaque and transparent components, improving the internal functionality of the spaces.
The buildings to be renovated are mostly one-storey buildings above ground, with the exception of the current detention pavilion, which is three storeys above ground. The area involved in the expansion is currently occupied by the football pitch and outdoor areas used as vegetable gardens.

The design choices will ensure the best living conditions while guaranteeing safety and optimising the management costs of the structure.
