THE PROJECT
The building is designed for the residents of the Gruber Foundation’s care facility. The architecture, conceived by architect Camilla De Camilli, fully embodies the value of creating a sense of well-being in a place. It forms a cozy haven, characterized by clean, elegant lines in wood, closely integrated with the site’s topography and completely immersed in the surrounding forest.

DIARIO DI CANTIERE
The thoughtful use of wood and earth tones, set against the backdrop of the lush greenery, is perfectly balanced by the more angular forms of tinted aluminum.
Working closely with the designers, we began by designing the joint, creating monoblock subframes that would adapt to the structures and properly connect the new layers of insulation and airtightness.
