delboca&PARTNERS: Casa sul Parco, Fidenza
Casa sul Parco - 'the House on the Park' - designed by Milan-based architecture firm delboca&PARTNERS, in collaboration with architects Giovanni and Simona Rossi, is a complex of ten residential units with the "Passive House" energy certification. The project, constructed in Fidenza, in the province of Parma, extols the virtues of outdoor living and establishes a profound relationship with nature through a system of hanging gardens that continues seamlessly in the nearby public park. Greenery is used not as a means of adorning the building, but rather as an integral part of the design itself.
