Living in the park
Bergamo Alta, Italy
On the slopes of the hill on which “Bergamo alta” stands, in place of an abandoned factory delimited by the Morla stream, the open courtyard layout of a residential intervention arranged on 3 levels is placed to complete a historic park. 42 high-quality apartments characterized by loggias and large windows, enjoy the beautiful panorama. An intense materiality made of dark brick and wood characterize the surfaces of the building.
An open courtyard seems to embrace the park and define an organic integration with the landscape integrated by a cycle path that runs alongside the Morla stream. The architecture is characterized by being an object that recovers the materiality of the bricks of the Bergamo tradition and at the same time becomes the limit between the park and the urban periphery.
