The redevelopment of the retirement home and the former Caserma Riva barracks complex provides an opportunity to transform Piazza d'Armi into a vibrant, accessible space where history and modernity coexist. The new square will be a multidisciplinary space with areas dedicated to play, sports and socialising, where people of all ages can meet and experience the city together.  <\/p>\n<p>The former stables have been transformed into flexible spaces housing warehouses, exhibition areas, greenhouses and refreshment zones. These spaces offer meeting places and shared activities for the retirement home's residents and the city's students. Inside, the spaces have been redesigned to accommodate new rooms and larger, more flexible communal areas. A panoramic lift enhances the surrounding landscape. The use of wood and circles as unifying features, as well as visual openings, creates continuity between the interior and exterior, promoting comfort and socialising.  <\/p>\n<p>The project incorporates sustainability principles, such as drainage flooring, the maintenance and enhancement of green spaces, rainwater harvesting, LED lighting and solar thermal and photovoltaic panels, to make the structure efficient and resilient. The outdoor and indoor spaces are connected harmoniously, creating an open and inclusive complex with a strong identity where architecture, nature and community coexist and enrich each other. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Status:<\/strong> Architecture Competition<\/p>\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: Municipality of Asiago<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design team:<\/strong> M.
