Residence Rio Maggiore in an innovative dialogue between architecture and nature

In the center of Levico Terme, in the province of Trento, the Dimora Rio Maggiore originates from the renovation of an existing building from the first half of the '900s: a project that is part of a design process whose basic idea is to characterize with features attentive to the quality of life the interventions planned for an entire area with a residential destination.

Aesthetic Quality and Sustainability

In the perspective of creating homes that stand out for aesthetic quality, energy requalification, and sustainability, the architectural design and interior design studio Mango Design, specialized in architecture projects and interior design, is passionately dedicated to the transformation of iconic buildings. Currently, the studio is engaged in the requalification of Dimora Rio Maggiore, a project that combines innovation and connection with the landscape. The intervention enhances the existing architecture through a careful selection of materials and design solutions that strike a balance between tradition and modernity.

Energy requalification and panoramic terrace

In the first three floors of the building, the existing apartments are requalified, while on the fourth and last floor, the attic has been recovered for residential purposes by demolishing the pitched roof and perimeter walls. Now, a panoramic terrace exclusively for the penthouse overlooks the views of Levico and its lake. Heat pumps powered by the photovoltaic system installed on part of the new flat roof and differentiated insulation for the various types of building envelope are at the core of the energy requalification project. These interventions include EPS with graphite coatings for the stone masonry and new Xlam walls insulated with wood fiber.

Customizable fixtures for a unique project

The peculiarity of the intervention on the Dimora Rio Maggiore is the "project within the project": Mango Design, in collaboration with Alphacan, has created MY DESIGN, the world's first fully customizable PVC film for fixtures. This customizable design covers the fixtures both inside and outside, making the finish unique. Internally, a modern finish with whitewashed laminated wood effect frees the PVC from its traditional image, while externally a "micaceous iron" gray film matches the shades used for the plastering on the facades.

Innovative dialogue between architecture and nature

Manifesting the project philosophy of wanting to create an innovative dialogue between architecture and nature, the colors and shapes of Dimora Rio Maggiore relate to the context that hosts it. The design graphically plays with the balcony railings, where geometric lines create contrast, while on the terraces a stylized pattern echoes the shadow of the adjacent huge cedar tree, reinforcing the connection with the landscape.
