deltaVERDE

A prototype of an environmentally friendly building with a modular concept and high living comfort, easy to convert.

premise
deltaZERO is “a group of designers from the fields of architecture and urban planning who want to build buildings and cities for the man of the 21st century”. The group is a leader in the planning of zero-emission buildings in Switzerland and has developed a number of self-advertised prototype buildings to directly test the systems proposed in the studio's projects.

In 2008 the deltaZERO building in Paradiso proposed a new standard for low-energy buildings of the future, which is characterized by flexibility and transparency. This was followed by deltaROSSO, a prototype building, a rental building for mixed residential and administrative purposes, which was awarded the special prize of the Swiss Solar Agency in 2019 for the best multi-family house with positive energy

Now the "test bench" is represented by the DeltaVERDE complex, in which the properties already proposed in the previous prototypes are further developed.

properties
The complex with 5,000 m2 and 86 parking spaces is characterized by two habitable volumes that stand on a base that serves as a garage, storage and technical room.

The property, which belongs to the shareholders of deltaZERO, benefits from a building permit that has grown in the judgment.

In accordance with the DeltaZERO philosophy, the building was developed in such a way that it has the following features:
– Respect for the environment, therefore no higher emissions into the atmosphere and energy production than consumption
– higher than consumption
– Maximum flexibility thanks to a modular design concept with the resulting possibility of changing the destination and partitions according to market requirements; Thanks to the removable radiant floor with deltaZERO concepts, transformation is easy at any time
-high living comfort with ventilation
continuous, large hot and cold radiation surfaces with consequently reduced temperature delta in the distribution
ne, filtered and ionized air, home automation

location
Chiasso is a town a few kilometers from the Lugano and Como lakes and close to its numerous tourist attractions. It is the ideal place for those who want to live in peace and at the same time want to be connected to local and international transport and service networks.

deltaVERDE is located in Via Sottopenz, only a few steps away from the historic center and in the middle of the green of the Penz hill park with its shady and relaxing paths that offer opportunities for relaxation in nature.

The location is strategic from a logistical point of view: in a few minutes on foot you can reach the train station, the central square of the municipality and all services. The location therefore meets the requirements of a young clientele who want a life without constant use of the car, even when the motorway is nearby.

innovation
Integration of energy saving and energy generation technologies.

Implementation of new concepts aimed at ensuring the flexibility of the destination and the use of the spaces according to the constantly changing needs of the contemporary user.

The most modern technological systems contain no emissions and no consumption, maximum flexibility and high comfort and consequently guarantee the stability of the commercial value of the property in the long term.

Positive energy
deltaVERDE produces more energy than it consumes thanks to:
-A construction that pays attention to mass and optimal thermal insulation
– energy generation with two reversible heat pumps
– Solar collectors and photovoltaic modules integrated into the building envelope

Comfort
– optimal lighting guaranteed by large windows
– clean air thanks to ventilation
Continuation with air filtration and ionization
– Summer cooling and dehumidification
– thermal activation of the roof mass
– Home automation and the ability to quickly adapt the electrical system to the needs of the user thanks to the removable raised floor

flexibility
Choosing a construction system that makes it possible to divide the spaces according to the needs of the user and adapt them to the needs of residence and work in constant transformation throughout the life cycle of the building.

The rooms can therefore accommodate apartments, offices or mixed solutions and can easily be modified; Each floor can be divided into a flexible number of units as required.

Low costs
Despite the exceptional properties of the building in terms of technology, comfort and materials used, we intend to bring to the market, through a linear and modular project, residential and / or administrative spaces of the highest quality in a building with positive energy, the cost of which is the average local market correspond . This design philosophy leads to a long-term preservation of the value of the building, despite the climate change and the changes in user needs, which are characteristic of our society in a rapid and constant transformation. ■
