Le Albere Residential Buildings

ItalyHospitality and Residential

Project Description

The extension project of the ex-Michelin area in Trento is considered among the most important urban developments in the north of Italy, spanning approximately 11 hectares of land. More than 300,000 cubic metres aim to create a new part of the city, using the most innovative eco-sustainable technologies.

Offices, shops, residences, cultural spaces and social areas characterise the functional mix of the area.

About 5 hectares are dedicated to a wide green park.

The Residential Buildings consist of 300 apartments.

Key Features

The new buildings have a clear and unified horizontal impact on a similar scale to those in Trento’s historical centre and are located on the eastern side of the huge site, leaving the western part open for a new public park facing the river.

The buildings are interspersed with green areas and waterways, a system of canals that crosses over the entire area and actively connects it with the river and natural landscape.

The buildings are four to five storeys high and their zinc roofs give the neighbourhood a certain visual unity.
