One of the main fields of work of our studio in the last years have been the design of residential buildings starting from single dwelling houses of 1 or 2 storeys, to large condominium buildings up to 6 storeys both for private and social housing. The constructive systems are mainly Platfrom Frame or Xlam ( CLT ). Some of these buildings have been awarded as examples of eco-sustainable buildings and have attracted the interest of national and international media for their innovative features. In the design process our studio brought the experience gained in years of scientific research and testing which made us possible to find new and innovative structural solutions.
