Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. The First Hypogean Prosciutto factory in Perugia, Italy by Enzo Eusebiarchitects–Nothing StudioMarch 4th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Architects: Enzo Eusebiarchitects–Nothing Studio The firm Nothing Studio signs the Opificio Salpi, a cutting-edge project characterized by high quality standards and a strong sensitivity towards nature, both values are at the foundation of Enzo Eusebi’s design philosophy.

The spaces dedicated to the production cycle of a not able prosciutto Factory, Salpi, are within an in a C shaped underground structure, covered with a green roof that respects the natural contour of the slope. In the courtyard at the center of the C, opened to the valley, a tank of rain water is positioned. The main side of the Opificio is characterized formally and architecturally by the presence of the directional building, with the wise use of environmentally friendly materials with high energy efficiency.

In the case of the production building, the above ground parts “multiply” the space surrounding the factory through the use of mirror finishes, taking advantage of the illusory dimension of such material multiplier of reality. The same surface will ensure the right amount of natural light to the work areas.

The adoption of sustainable practices in building design allows you to achieve environmental benefits, economic and social positive effect son all users of the Opificio, including owners and workers.

In addition, the mantle that will replicate the hill profile, will be planted with a regular grid citrus that will benefit from the residual heat from the production area. A specific management and storage system of rain water then guarantees the reduction of waste water and the demand for drinking water.

The combination of design choices and architectural standards, blend modern with traditional, focusing on a real sustainability are the foundation elements to achieve the LEED certification, today considered the most advanced in the international field.

From the beginning the studio grew rapidly, developing significant projects in different sectors: residential and receptive buildings, offices, showrooms and retail spaces, museums, production sites, temporary installations, exhibitions, renovations and private houses. Aside from the architectural design,Nothing Studio supports also the research in different fields of design, from marketing, through graphics, illuminating engineering, design furniture, up to the creation of temporary installations, making the multidisciplinary attitude one of its points of strenght. The research, at the base of the design of the Studio, is wide and heterogeneous and it mainly focuses on the functional and spacial aspects, construction technology, design methodologies and quality control butalso on problemssuchas energy saving and environmental sustainability.
