Oasis 2nd prize, Cesa, Italy

Second phase for Cesa square settled, we are proud to announce and show our proposal!! Another award for this season. second prize 🏆

The proposal aims to create an urban public space that acts as a bio-climatic shelter, a protected oasis within the city. The main objective is to realise an inclusive, green, sustainable and a safe public space that can improve the quality of life of residents and visitors, promoting social interaction and a sense of community. Through the adoption of design strategies aimed at environmental sustainability, the use of eco-compatible materials with respect to the circular economy and reuse, it is expected to significantly improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, favouring a stronger sense of community and social interaction. The square will be a landmark for social sustainability and a pole of attraction, while respecting its history and context.

The garden is formed by creating a different elevation, raising a portion of the square, providing privacy and protection from the two driveways that lap the lot. The curved and sinuous forms symbolise an embrace, conveying a sense of welcome and inclusiveness for people of all ages; the space accommodates flexible and variable functions. The raised plaza fits harmoniously into the urban context, offering a quiet space protected from vehicular traffic. Designed with ecological materials such as corten steel, local stone and permeable paving, it creates a welcoming and sustainable atmosphere.

The prevalent presence of a garden with native vegetation, with plants reflecting local biodiversity, enriches the environment and promotes biodiversity. This bio-climatic refuge, sheltered from the noise and dust of driveways, becomes a green oasis where residents can enjoy a favourable microclimate, thanks also to the choice of shrubs and trees that provide shade in the hot months, optimise rainwater management (which will be collected for irrigation and cooling), and improve air quality and comfort for users.

NAMA building, Podgorica, Montenegro

International settled competition for a technological hub building.

The conversion project of an old building in the historic centre of Podgorica, Montenegro, aims to revitalise a space with history, transforming it into a #creativehub for innovation and a #businessincubator •This new centre will become a beacon of creativity and progress, serving as a reference for the community and a symbol of contemporary innovation. Its design will be the perfect balance between the modern and the preservation of the past, maintaining the memory of the original building while being open to the needs of the future.

Architectural #concept: The building is conceived as a ‘lantern in the sky’, a metaphor that expresses its intention to illuminate and guide the community towards the future of innovation. This idea is materialised through a facade that protects the original structure of the building, dressing the skeleton and making room for large windows and open spaces that invite #collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The #skirt acts as a bioclimatic filter, a warm air chamber for the winter that transforms into a ventilation space in summer. At night, the building is a light in the urban landscape, projecting an aura of modernity and dynamism, reinforcing its role as a centre of creative energy a place where new ideas are born and transformed into businesses. The skirt is also a symbol for the female name of the old building #Podgoricanka and a tribute also to improve the women empowerment and entrepreneurship.

Although the approach is contemporary, the project will respect and preserve key elements of the original building, integrating some architectural details that evoke its history (like the first mechanical stair) and its entire armed concrete structure with its rhythm and form adding a new layer of functional modernity.The main idea is to design a building that resonates with the environment and the community and incorporates public spaces at all levels.

An architectural space designed with a holistic approach that not only physically integrates with its surroundings, but also fosters a deep connection with the surrounding #context

Cycle of life garden, villa Torlonia,Rome, Italy. 2023-2024

#nabitoarchitects #landscapearchitecture #architecture

Pictured by Claudia Pescatori / Bebo Ferlito

In the midst of a bustling #city , there lies a serene, peaceful and #impermanent #garden that celebrates the circle of life. As you enter, you are immediately transported into a world of tranquillity, where the sounds of the city fade away, and the gentle rustle of leaves becomes the only sound you can hear.

The garden works as a service of a #seniors living #hotel in #rome. A place for people who have decided to leave home and live the last period of their lives in relaxation and #peace .

The garden is an excuse to reflect about the #cycleoflife and has been carefully designed to represent it. As you walk through the winding paths and tunnels of flowers, you will see a wide variety of plants and trees, each representing its different stage of life and growth.

The Garden has been designed to symbolize different stages and aspects of life trough diverse garden areas.

Each section offers unique experiences, fostering community, learning, doing sport, playing and reflection.

The first area is a #ludic space with interactive elements, designed for both children and adults to share a space of kindness.

The central area encourage social interaction, shared meals and community events.

The garden is full of #intimate spaces, with cosy seating, aromatic plants like lavender and rosemary, a serene secluded areas for quite reflection and personal time for meditation and reading and a corridor to play #social games.

There are two areas dedicated to both vegetable gardens and fruits trees to teach gardening skills, sustainable practices and provide fresh produce; in those areas is possible to plan interactive workshops and seasonal planting schedules.

Curving paths connects each area representing the journey of life revealing different plant and tree species to emphasise life. The paths are made of natural materials like binded earth and gravel, and are deliberately left weathering with an absolute impermanent character.

Gorgonzola new urban Park

NàBITO Architects proposal for a new urban park in Gorgonzola, Milano.

International competition settled, Milan, Italy

The design of the new #urbanpark in #gorgonzola offers us the opportunity for deep reflection and debate regarding the renewed idea of the relationship between the citizens of a community to provide a harmonious coexistence. This idea aims to design in the proposed intervention area, a pacified island of resting and walking, completely pedestrian and bicycle friendly, that will serve as a powerful node of urban connection and social #cohesion and that can trigger resonance mechanisms generating a model to be emulated and developed in the whole neighborhood. The main objective is to promote soft mobility, completely disincentivize private vehicular traffic by eliminating parking areas.

It aims to enhance the strategic areas of the municipal territory by connecting the main urban spaces of the neighborhood with the entire city

through bicycle and public pedestrian mobility alternative to the use of private motor vehicles.

The idea is to “attract” the main axes of the neighbourhood within the project area by transforming them into paths that relate and give a hierarchy to the spaces and create different “holes” and squares of multiple and heterogeneous activities for the use of all age groups.

The project, in addition to upgrading , attracting visitors and giving new life to the park space, blends fluidly into its context. This system of spaces (defined by holes and pathways) lowers and rises to allow a multi-level promenade to define a varied “natural landscape” surrounded by trees. This generates a fresh, evocative, dreamy place completely surrounded by greenery that has the ambition to inspire the imagination of all its visitors.

The urban design focuses on three key aspects: safety, accessibility and #sustainability

The project has the will to stand as a connective urban node of urban and social integration, among the citizens themselves, but also stimulating tourism, amplifying the activities and functions of communication of the cultural and eno-gastronomic heritage (for example by inserting a small interpretation centre of Gorgonzola cheese production, a forum with kiosks for tasting and promotion activities, a museum of the city, etc.).

We would like to send a strong and clear message to the administration to help us, to permeate the contemporary idea that a city does not need private transport (that the car is a luxury good and not a basic necessity, that it pollutes, clutters up space, and that traffic and parking, whether wild or orderly, should be completely disincentivised in the central, polar and green areas of cities, offering alternative public services, limiting parking to inter-modal areas near metro or train stations or to peripheral neighbouring areas so as to enhance cycle and pedestrian networks throughout the territory.

These measures are seen as an incentive for social sustainability, enhancing civic sense and raising the standards of social behaviour that allow for a more peaceful coexistence in the long term.

Thanks to the team for this settled #international completion @sena_miray @raczkarasia , Oriol Llach, Orazio Pellegrino.

NàBITO architects designs LIL first store in Rome Stazione Termini.

Soft pastel colors dominate the interior, enhancing the fresh and dreamy atmosphere. The pastel hues are carefully chosen to be soothing yet captivating, encouraging customers to explore the space.

The use of transparent and colorful supports for jewelry displays will create an airy and light-filled environment. These supports, combined with the superposition of colors, will give the illusion of floating jewels in a kaleidoscopic world, adding lightness and softness to the dreamlike ambience.

Gentle, diffused lighting will be used to highlight the jewelry and create a warm, inviting glow. The interplay of light and color will enhance the suggestive and magical feel of the space.

Jewelry and merchandising will be displayed on multi-layered, translucent platforms, adding depth and intrigue. These displays will be arranged to encourage exploration by storytelling messages, making customers feel like they are embarking on a journey through LIL’s world.

A colorful, translucent space will greet visitors, immediately immersing them in the store’s unique atmosphere enlightening the Giant Pearl on the back. This entry point sets the tone for the journey within, promising an escape from the mundane into a vibrant, dynamic space.

The overall atmosphere will be suggestive and fresh, evoking the essence of summer and the playful nature of dreams. Every element, from the exterior dichroic film to the pastel color palette and translucent displays, will work together to create a cohesive and enchanting experience.

Rome’s Central Station.

The goal is to create a memorable and attractive space that stands out in the bustling environment of Rome’s Central Station.
By leveraging innovative materials and a unique design approach, LIL Jewels store will offer a sensory escape that draws in customers and leaves a lasting impression of whimsy and delight.

Nàbito architects Mediterranea

Nàbito architects have recently completed a project of a Mediterranean private garden that features a winding path with sinuous borders. The garden, located in the famous Lungomare di Sabaudia  a town in southern of Rome in Italy, is a beautiful example of how thoughtful design can transform outdoor spaces into havens of tranquility and beauty.

The Mediterranean climate and landscape have inspired the selection of plants and trees used in the garden, with a variety of aromatic herbs, shrubs, and flowers adding color, texture, and fragrance to the space, including olive trees, lavender, and rosemary, which provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.

The garden also includes several seating areas where visitors can pause and take in the beauty of their surroundings.

Nàbito architects paid careful attention to every detail of the project, from the selection of materials to the placement of each individual plant. The result is a testament to the power of thoughtful design in creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces. Its sinuous path and carefully chosen plants and materials combine to create a truly magical space that invites visitors to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings.
