Residential building project

The project involves the recovery of the existing building through demolition and reconstruction, increasing the volume within the original footprint, using the Housing Plan. The buildings currently consist of a single-story building with gabled roofs, directly overlooking Via Roberto. They are located in a well-established residential area, right in the center of the municipality of Bordighera. The surrounding buildings have multiple floors, all of which are large enough to make the existing building appear a small anomaly in its ability to blend into the dominant urban landscape. The new project therefore aims to create a building that rebalances the current volumetric "weights" and, at the same time, restores a contemporary typology, thus appropriately updating a busy central street. The project involves the construction of a four-story residential building with a fully underground level, via an access ramp along the southern edge of the lot, for use as a garage and ancillary rooms for the apartments (cellars, utility rooms, storage). The building is within the maximum prevailing height. The ground floor will feature green areas used as a garden, planted with typical local trees. The main entrance to the property will be from the north side via an external staircase (see attached drawings). Part of the staircase will be masonry and part metal. The top floor will be slightly lower than the floors below, creating a terrace. The roof will be single-pitched and will be used for installing solar collectors. The building will be primarily plastered, with the exception of the top floor, which will be clad in WPC slats to break up the "monotony of the climb." Sunshades will be installed along the facades, primarily near the windows, which, in addition to providing shade, will also provide a distinctive look to the building's facades. The building's structure will be reinforced concrete with perimeter walls featuring an air chamber and interposed insulation; 8 cm perforated partitions; internal lime plaster with a fine trowel, painted in a washable interior color; interior floors will be made of porcelain stoneware, travertine, or wood tiles; interior ceramic cladding; interior doors will be lacquered wood; exterior window frames will be made of burnished aluminum. The gutters and downspouts will be copper, and the surfaces and copings will be slate. The exterior flooring will be stone-effect porcelain stoneware, as will the walkways adjacent to the building itself along the existing walls connecting the entrances. The new building is already connected to the sewer system (Via Roberto), municipal water supply, and electricity; Regarding stormwater drainage, it will be dispersed naturally into the ground. In our opinion, the need for redevelopment of the property is more than necessary, especially considering its central location. In our opinion, the new building fits correctly within the existing volumes, respecting the regularity of the distances between them and the height. With regard to the hydraulic report, we would like to inform you that it is not required since the distances of the new building from the relevant stream passing along Corso Italia are greater than 35 meters, as described on page 8 of the Geological Report and on graphic plate 10. Therefore, the 10-meter buffer zone is guaranteed, as it is a third-level catchment area.
