About
The open ground becomes a sequence of gardens, each named after an Italian Nobel laureate: a park for sport, a lawn for gathering, a square with a pool, a Florentine garden, a vegetable garden and a quiet labyrinth.
The outdoor spaces are made for walking, and permeable ground grows from 3,200 m² to 6,546 m².
Sustainability
Prefabricated, low-energy modules built in the factory, less waste on site, and permeable ground increased from 3,200 m² to 6,546 m².
