Underground parking, Magliaso

by
Mixed residential and commercial complex, with underground car park built with Drytech White Tank waterproofing

In Magliaso, MPN Ingegneria has designed a mixed residential and commercial complex, consisting of several buildings connected by the common underground garage.

In the hypogeum areas without buildings above ground, the Drytech Tank was closed by the waterproof slab.

The main body is intended for the supermarket and, in the basement, for the customers’ garage.

Eight apartments have been built above the supermarket.

On the opposite side of the internal road there are three buildings, plus a tower that houses a cafeteria. Below this area extends the garage with the residents’ private parking lots.

The underground parking of the supermarket and that of the residents are connected by a tunnel with a shutter which is located below the internal road.

The mixed destination makes the complex lively and lively during the day, and quiet and relaxing from the evening onwards.

The block is in fact located a few meters from the lake shore and is bordered to the east by the cycle-pedestrian street of Magliaso.

Ginetta Residence, Morbio Inferiore

The large panoramic terraces of the Ginetta Residence in Morbio Inferiore are rotated with respect to the front of the east facade. The angle of exposure to the sun is thus increased.

The large panoramic terraces of the Ginetta Residence in Morbio Inferiore are rotated with respect to the front of the east facade. The angle of exposure to the sun is thus increased.

The orientation of the building is an architectural component defined precisely in function of the control of natural light.

The project by the architect and urban planner Carlo Rizzi di Morbio, includes 20 apartments of various sizes, distributed in three independent blocks, organized in four levels plus a basement for garages, cellars and service rooms.

The broken lines of the main facade are counterbalanced by the essentiality of the north-west facade, crossed by the slight changes in level of the three buildings, which follow the natural slope of the land.

From this side you can access via a ramp to the large underground level, made with the waterproof Drytech Tank structure, as well as the suggestive infinity pool set in the large lawn of the property.

Martina Residence, Riva San Vitale

by
Progettata dall'architetto Mario Botta, Residenza Martina gode di una posizione privilegiata, a pochi passi dal centro di Riva San Vitale e dalla riva del Lago Ceresio.

Designed by architect Mario Botta, Residence Martina enjoys a privileged location, just a few steps from the centre of Riva San Vitale and the shore of Lake Lugano.

Elegant. Cosy. Warm. Comfortable. Serviced. These are the qualities everyone wants for their home.

These are the characteristics of the residence, which offers an ideal living solution for people of the third and fourth age.

In fact, it integrates absolutely autonomous and personal apartments with the possibility of having all the services of care, assistance, prevention and socialization.

The added value of Residenza Martina is integration into the life of the town. Rising in fact in the center, the inhabitants can walk to shops, cafes, the post office, the Lido of Riva San Vitale.

If on the one hand the structure is open and connected to the community, on the other it is literally immersed in nature.

The entrances are located to the north, towards the town center and the lake, as is the access ramp to the underground garage, built with a 1,860 m2 Drytech Tank.

The main facade, completely south-facing, instead opens onto the large common lawn and, beyond a row of trees, onto the green area of the nearby school.

The Martina Residence in Riva San Vitale is a real home, where each person can find their own dimension, both intimate and social.

Poiana House, Ruvigliana

The hanging pool and the lawn on the waterproof concrete slab of the Drytech White Tank

The architecture of Villa Poiana frames different views of the panorama offered by this corner of the Ceresio, transforming them into as many spectacular views.

In particular with the exposed concrete beams that define the patios on the first and second levels of the villa.

The building designed by the architect Mischa Groh is composed of two superimposed bodies, rotated by 30 degrees relative to each other.

The slabs are connected to each other alternately on the right and left side, drawing the facade as a schematic Z.

The large à jour windows are set back from the front of the facade. In addition to guaranteeing comfortable shade to the interiors at the zenith hours, this solution enhances the powerful design of the villa through the contrast between light and dark.

The façade is in exposed concrete, made with formworks composed of narrow boards that ripple the surface, producing a warm material effect.

The roof of the lower body is the base of the lawn of the upper villa, in which the scenographic hanging swimming pool built with the Drytech Tank is immersed.

For swimming pool structures in contact with chlorine or salt water, Drytech has developed a specific concrete recipe that resists aggressive agents.

The structure of Villa Poiana follows the slope in which it is set, so all the walls of the shafts on the side of the rock were made with Drytech Waterproof Concrete and with the waterproofing of the details with Drycoat flaps, the elastic and continuous waterproof covering that adheres and adapts to the structure like a second skin.

The new Sant'Anna hospital in Como is located on an area of ​​over 80,000 m² south of the city of Como and a few hundred meters from the headquarters of Drytech Italia.

The new Sant’Anna hospital in Como is located on an area of ​​over 80,000 m² south of the city of Como and a few hundred meters from the headquarters of Drytech Italia.

The Como Polyclinic has two underground floors exposed to a 2-meter flap, which will also house the operating theaters.

The waterproofing was carried out with the Drytech Tank System which, among other things, due to its construction characteristics and organization, ensured a significant reduction in days in the overall construction site budget.

The activities of the Drytech Tank System, in fact, are parallel to the others of the construction site so that, in fact, the waterproofing item has been removed from the work calendar.

To support the weight of the structure, the site of the construction site was consolidated with approximately 4000 reinforced concrete poles, with a depth varying between 20 and 30 meters.

The poles were thrown into shirts driven into the ground with micro-explosions.

City by the Sea, Savona

The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

Excellent news for the sky arrives from the sea.

The plant is zero-emission and, using a renewable and free resource, provides a definitive solution to the problems of atmospheric pollution and the soaring costs of fossil energy sources.

The Savonate housing complex was built by Meraviglia Spa of Bulgarogrosso (CO) and was designed by the Technion Srl and Ellevi di Lecco design studios.

The 120 apartments are served by a heating system connected to a sea outlet, built on the boulder pier facing the complex.

The basic principle of the system is the substantially constant temperature of the sea water (about 18 ° in this stretch of coast).

The pipes of the heating and air conditioning system from the building run underground to the sea intake, where the heat pump is located, which uses sea water as a source or as a heat sink.

The transport of thermal energy takes place through the same water. Water that is sucked from the sea, brought up to the heat exchanger and, therefore, released.

The system has a positive energy balance: it supplies more energy (heat) than electricity needed for its operation (the ratio is at least 1 to 4 or higher, up to 1 to 6).

In addition to the seawater intake, the two floors of the Città del Mare underground car park are also made with the Drytech Tank Waterproofing System, which is exposed to a 5-meter water table, as can be seen from the pressure of the jet that comes out of the pump well in the third image.
