Dedicated to those seeking a sophisticated urban life style, respectful of the environment, Palazzo Venezia’s architecture takes inspiration from the early 20th century mansions, while also designed to be throughly contemporary. Green systems are distinguishing design trait of this project: green roofs and gardens to reduce direct solar gain; geothermal heat pump exchange and radiant flooring for both heating and cooling; high performance curtain-wall and triple-glazed windows; sun shading devices; recycled water distribution for water closets, washing machines and irrigation. photos: Stefano Topuntoli.
