Architectural and structural design of a single-family house in central Italy. The design has been conducted with the latest regulation and technologies in terms of anti-seismic and energy efficiency. The house is climatized with a hybrid system, consisting of one heat pump plus one traditional condensing boiler

A radiant floor is selected as heating emission system. The house is also completed by a thermo floor made by a particular EPS panel technology plus a highly efficient monolayer cladding

To improve the mechanical properties of the ground below the foundation and to guarantee the stability of the structure under seismic forces, underneath the foundations, a series of compacted gravel columns have been realized. The job is conducted as per a patented Italian-American technology.
