The practice follows every project from the first idea to final testing, coordinating the professionals involved and keeping quality, time and costs under control.
Integrated design
An important definition for an important task: the engineer takes care of your project from every angle, managing a network of collaborators who will help you build your “dream home” while saving time and money and gaining in quality.
Integrated design is a methodology that ensures high quality standards in the final result, with full control over costs and schedules. It relies on a high level of design detail, made possible only by knowledge and skills gained over years of practice and by involving the right specialists. This kind of support is essential to build a trusted team and make the best use of resources.
Architectural design and site supervision for residential and commercial buildings
The practice offers modern design techniques for residential and commercial buildings, placing the client – with their needs and ideas – at the centre of the design process.
The engineer and his team help you “see” your ideas and the final result through 3D renderings and photorealistic images. We offer solutions tailored to your real needs, a continuous and qualified presence on site during construction and – essential to make the best use of resources – constant updates on construction costs. When the works are completed, a final inspection is always carried out in your presence, to guarantee that everything has been built to the highest standard.
Seismic vulnerability assessment
Safety is the first thing we expect from the buildings where we live and work. Assessing the condition of a building cannot be reduced to a superficial visual inspection: it requires sector knowledge and experience, appropriate tools and a professional able to interpret the data collected.
Giovanni Curzi is a certified building-usability inspector, qualified by the Order of Engineers of Marche and the Civil Protection to survey earthquake damage and assess whether buildings are safe to use. Specialist training, years of experience and many real cases – including L’Aquila after the 2009 earthquake – allow an accurate seismic vulnerability assessment of any type of building. Analyses are carried out with the most advanced seismic design software and supported by state-of-the-art instruments.
Development plans
Uniqueness, quality and style combined with safety, solidity and cost optimisation: these are our guidelines when designing your homes. Several large-scale development plans have allowed the practice to stand out for high-quality building projects in the Marche region and beyond, with careful management of design time and costs.
Reinforced concrete structures
Founded mainly for this field, the practice has been working since 2002 on the structural design of buildings of every type, mainly in reinforced concrete, with a very large number of projects completed and many technical problems solved. The practice also acts as a consultant for several local professionals.
Masonry structures
The local building stock includes many load-bearing masonry buildings, which over the years have given us the opportunity to design and coordinate numerous structural renovation and strengthening works.
Timber structures and green building
Zero environmental impact and the well-being of the occupants: these are the key words for the future of construction. Our practice believes in this and invests in it, researching green, zero-impact building techniques for buildings that blend naturally into the landscape, without spoiling it or damaging it with harmful substances and materials.
We promote a holistic approach to design, involving professionals from different fields with the aim of creating spaces that support a healthy, peaceful lifestyle, for the benefit of both the client and the environment.
Steel structures
Steel construction for residential buildings is gaining ground locally too. Having already built buildings entirely in steel, the practice offers expertise in their design and in the structural details that make these buildings solid and durable.
Thermal design and energy efficiency
A healthy home – cool in summer, warm in winter and free from damp, without high bills or harm to the environment – is a demanding goal, but an achievable one. Research in the building sector has led to a new way of thinking about the “home”: systems and materials that ensure a healthy environment, reduce running costs and guarantee environmental sustainability.
Special attention goes to the position and type of openings, the influence of the surrounding environment, the quality of windows and the choice of insulation, chosen for technical suitability rather than commercial appeal. This protects both the well-being of the occupants and the building’s energy consumption.
