Immersed in the Prosecco vineyards of the Treviso area, this building is the result of a careful regeneration project: first a glacier in a villa, then a deposit of ammunition during the Great War. To fit into this context, a recovery of the existing is foreseen which, together with a new intervention, amplifies it’s natural specificities. The result is a balance of volumes and transparencies.
The object Ofenwerkstatt Müller is a workshop with five workplaces for the production of rammed earth furnaces (lehmo.at). The structure of the workshop should be perceived as a simple and monolithic volume. The building with a floor space of 228 square meter is built in a timber-framed construction. The building shell consists of fixed glazing and wood with a front facade of open masonry. This stands on a concrete base and at certain points has generous openings with defined views. On the flat roof of the workshop there is a solar plant with an area of 45 square meter and a 60 degree inclination. The new workshop is positioned on the property in such a way that it creates a kind of inner courtyard situation in relation to the existing building. A restrained building is to be created, which with the materials wood and the open masonry represents the sustainable and technical aspects of the Ovenworkshop.
Born from the expertise and experience of architect Mariano Zanon (1965) and grown with partner architects Alessio Bolgan (1976) and Bruno Ferretti (1974), the architectural practice zanonarchitettiassociati, has witnessed a continuous growth of professional activities, from projects and interior works for commercial areas, restaurants and private homes to activities of architectural planning for residential, commercial and above all for the tourism-hospitality sector.
We built a square box composed of nine smaller squares. The center square emerges to bring light from the heights of the vestibule. The classrooms are arranged in the surrounding squares.

The concept for the hotel was inspired by its location – two lakes and a green valley surrounded by the steep, forested slopes of Belluno’s Alpine foothills, where the dominating element is the woodlands. This was the key factor on which Daniele Menichini’s architect’s studio based their project and Toscana Interiors carried it out. The woods were abstracted and reconstructed inside the bedrooms to create a link with the outside, featuring sycamore, linden, willow, birch, poplar, elm, beech and sweet chestnut trees. Trees outside and trees indoors, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment, a warm and physical place to spend the night, dreaming of sleeping outdoors under a starry sky.
The building is located in the heart of the antique Fiera harbor neighbor of Treviso, right in front of S.Ambrogio Church. Like the neighbor itself, the building has also experienced various interventions in the recent centuries.
A.T.E.R. (L’Azienda territoriale per l’edilizia residenziale) in Treviso is a social institution that helps to relief housing problems and supports other public entities in order to give appropriate answers to pressing needs for public intervention in the territory that these subjects can not, often for lack of funds, individually provide.
Ospitalità diffusa is the all-Italian concept which is gaining more and more attention within the ultimate frontiers of the hospitality industry: it mainly revolves around the revamping of existing buildings peppered across the countryside or located in small villages. A concept which has long been conceived differently by other countries. This new interpretation is right where the project GREEN_ZERO has its roots: a new modular housing devoted to the accommodation sector; a suite entrenched in a sustainable shell to be installed in the woods, at seaside, in the heart of the countryside, or wherever the landscape permits.
This project took second place in the Tower House Competition for Treviso, Italy, which challenged architects to refurbish a twenty story landmark in the area. The proposal transforms the existing tower into 3 attached structures, each of which is designed with its own energy strategy. Photovoltaic panels on the roof and south façade provide 60 + 15 kw of power, which combined with bioclimatic devices brings the CO2 emissions down to zero.
