RENOVATION AND RESTORATION OF THE HISTORIC PALAZZO ROCCABONELLA IN PADUA

This intervention is in the heart of Padua, in Via S. Francesco in one of the oldest historical buildings of the city centre, a few steps from Prato della Valle, the Basilica of St. Anthony and the Bo Palace. It consists of the conservative restoration of the listed Palazzo Roccabonella, which dates back to the end of the 15th century and was further enlarged in the 18th century. With its generous dimensions and the approximately 900 m² of courtyard with garden, the building will give rise to 30 housing units, 49 underground garages with two-way access camouflaged in the garden, 2 commercial spaces and a gym reserved for residents.
The project is the perfect trait d’union between the most austere conservative restoration, it being one of the most treasured and impressive buildings in Padua, and the advanced design with the use of instruments such as 3D laser scanners, Scan to BIM process and BIM modelling, running along a dual and parallel track: history and technology, tradition and innovation.
