Canale Vigolungo Showroom & Offices is a highly technological building, made of prefabricated elements in poplar plywood, which provides a comfortable indoor environment thanks to the use of wood in all the building components.
The studio Lorena Alessio Architetti has developed the new PoplyHouse constructive joint, destined to revolutionize dry constructions. This joint has been adopted for the construction of the Canale Vigolungo Showroom, a 160sqm building that houses an exhibition space and the offices of the company E. Vigolungo S.p.A.
The project allows for a strong connection with the external environment through views of the surrounding green areas and hills. A "library-wall" divides the showroom from the offices, maintaining a visual continuity of materials and geometries. The use of orange-colored poplar plywood characterizes the kitchenette and the bathroom.
The use of prefabricated and interconnected elements ensures ease and speed of installation, assembly, and disassembly. Poplar, a highly sustainable material, offers lightness, ease of processing, and a short renewability cycle, thus contributing to the sustainability of the project.
Among the architecture projects, Canale Vigolungo Showroom is a project that integrates technological innovation and sustainable architecture, aiming to develop a building with reduced environmental impact throughout its lifecycle. The project has been granted a patent for an industrial invention of a structural element in plywood, awarded by the Ministry of Economic Development.
