Numero Cinque
Treviso, Italy
A monolith hiding a secret garden
Numero Cinque is an elegant urban retreat in Treviso, Italy, offering multi-level luxury living for a single family. The project comprises a four-story tower housing bedrooms, harmoniously connected to a sprawling, single-story wing that elegantly accommodates the living areas. Balancing the property’s composition, a fitness pavilion is located on the opposite side of the private garden.
Harmoniously juxtaposing the cityscape, the street-facing elevation stands as a testament to pure geometric elegance, as a canvas where vegetation traces graceful natural shapes. Meanwhile, on the private side, the elevation is thoughtfully crafted around expansive openings, creating a symbiotic interplay between indoor and outdoor realms.
Gracefully tapered with thin edges
Nestled on the ground floor, the living area is completely open to the private garden. The bedrooms and the bathrooms are located on the upper three levels. The rooms are placed at the heads of the high volume, while bathrooms and circulation are in the middle. This arrangement optimizes views and rooms value, ensuring privacy.
The ground floor living area has a close relationship with natural light, which enters the rooms through three different architectural elements: the sliding windows in the south portico, the patio carved into the volume of the building and the skylights above the kitchen.
The whole envelope is a ventilated façade cladded in white composite aluminum panels: vertical and horizontal joints divide the elevations into macro-modules, and all edges are bended to create a continuous volume.
The roof surface covering the living area is designed as a green roof which visually merge with the vegetation of the garden. The roof on top of the “tower” instead is a terrace where you can enjoy the view.
The property is surrounded by greenery of different essences: linear and continuous, as in the case of hedges, and punctual and high where trees are planted.
The orientation of the building, the vegetation and all details on the façade, contribute to optimize the performance of the technological systems, both in terms of summer cooling and winter heating.
The mechanical ventilation serves all the rooms of the building and the photovoltaic and solar panels integrate the energy demand.
The building meets the highest energy and environmental standards and provides advanced technological systems to ensure the maximum comfort required by the customer.
