Palazzo Marengo

Residential Building in Milan, no.47 Capecelatro Street.

In the residential area of San Siro, a district of Milan, Paloma Architects, commissioned by Castello SGR S.p.A. Fondo Augusto and in collaboration with Studio di Progettazione Impiantistica Nani, Guerini electrical engineering office and the structural engineer Enzo Lelli, carried out the Executive Design and Construction Supervision of a new residential building with high energy performance.

The building has 13 floors above ground with a total of 49 apartments and  underground parking.

The aim of the project development was the use of the most modern technologies within renewable energy sources and the use of groundwater for the heat pump. This supplies a radiant heating and cooling system that ensures energy saving. A careful study of the ventilated facade has been made to avoid energy dispersion and keep the continuity of insulating material in every construction node.

To be highlighted are the following adopted solutions : high efficiency controlled mechanical ventilation ensuring healthy air change  for the rooms without thermal  loss, and the combination of photovoltaic panels with LED low consumption lamps controlled by a sophisticated home automation system.
