Projects

Architecture for public and commercial use: schools, town halls and civic spaces, corporate headquarters, hospitality, retail and humanitarian housing. Projects that tackle complex programmes and multifaceted briefs, integrating functional requirements, the identity of the place and the quality of the public space.

POLYMNIA FUTURA — Sustainable Design — Barberio Colella Architetti

Sustainable Design

POLYMNIA FUTURA

Polymnia Futura evokes the connection between Polignano’s ancient name and its vision for the future. The project interprets Polignano’s genius loci – from its ancient karst formations to its calcarenite stone, from its relationship with the sea to its agricultural heritage – as a set of resources to be harnessed in the creation of a resilient and inclusive city.

ROGOREDO CO-HOUSING — Sustainable Design — Barberio Colella Architetti

Sustainable Design

ROGOREDO CO-HOUSING

A regeneration project for brownfield sites in the Rogoredo district (Milan), designed as a new neighbourhood characterised by social and functional mixité. The development strategy organises green spaces, boulevards and a square, with proximity services on the ground floor and a focus on the pedestrian and cycling network; vehicular mobility is directed to the periphery to reduce daily car use.

LANTERNS SEA VILLAGE — Sustainable Design — Barberio Colella Architetti

Sustainable Design

LANTERNS SEA VILLAGE

Lanterns Sea Village is a temporary settlement for surfers in Tarifa, Andalusia, suspended over the sea. One hundred tetrahedral bamboo modules — grouped in threes for mutual static balance — rest on poles driven deep into the sand, avoiding the need for concrete foundations or castings. The floors made of recycled timber and the sunshades crafted from old surfboards form an entirely reversible structure, capable of being dismantled without leaving a trace. Published on ArchDaily in 2015.

KURIKKA-TALO — Public & Commercial Architecture — Barberio Colella Architetti

Public & Commercial Architecture

KURIKKA-TALO

Design for the new Kurikka Town Hall, conceived as an open and permeable civic building, integrated into the existing urban fabric. The triangular form with rounded corners defines a compact layout that organises offices and public services around a large central covered space, naturally lit and designed to serve as the building’s social heart.

AOSTA SCHOOL OF ART & MUSIC — Public & Commercial Architecture — Barberio Colella Architetti

Public & Commercial Architecture

AOSTA SCHOOL OF ART & MUSIC

A project for the demolition and reconstruction of an existing school building in Aosta, designed as a civic facility open to the local community. The scheme incorporates a bioclimatic sunspace as a social space and environmental filter, organising educational and public functions according to criteria of flexibility, comfort and reduced energy consumption through passive strategies.

PRIMARY SCHOOL IN TRANI — Public & Commercial Architecture — Barberio Colella Architetti

Public & Commercial Architecture

PRIMARY SCHOOL IN TRANI

A project for the demolition and reconstruction of a school complex designed as a Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB) and a resilient educational facility. The project incorporates passive bioclimatic strategies, high-efficiency building services systems, and central communal spaces designed to serve as environmental and social hubs. The school is conceived as a flexible environment, capable of ensuring comfort and a high-quality learning experience.

BRACCIALINI HQ — Public & Commercial Architecture — Barberio Colella Architetti

Public & Commercial Architecture

BRACCIALINI HQ

The retrofit project for the Braccialini headquarters in Scandicci reinterprets the building through a new high-performance facade, designed to improve indoor comfort and perceived quality. The building envelope is clad in a micro-perforated aluminium skin, composed of digitally generated and controlled folded metal strips, which filter solar radiation, promote natural ventilation and daylighting, and introduce a fluid, aerodynamic form that integrates with the existing structure.

WELLNESS CLUB — Public & Commercial Architecture — Barberio Colella Architetti

Public & Commercial Architecture

WELLNESS CLUB

The Wellness Club project combines digital design and parametric control to create a space dedicated to well-being, where space, light and materials are coordinated as part of a single system. Continuous geometries and bespoke surfaces organise pathways and functions, creating an immersive experience that brings together architectural scale, comfort and perceptual quality. The design process utilises computational tools to control form and detail.

JUST A MINUTE — Sustainable Design — Barberio Colella Architetti

Sustainable Design

JUST A MINUTE

Just a Minute is a deployable emergency shelter, designed in response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake. The module expands from 2.5×4 m to 4×7.11 m thanks to a frame made of bamboo poles braced with cross-braces, secured with wing nuts. The layered building envelope of jute, recycled wool and a waterproof membrane ensures thermal comfort in different climates; a permanent core of OSB panels houses essential services. The project can be clustered in small villages and is energy self-sufficient thanks to the rooftop photovoltaic panels.

BINBAZ TOWERS — Digital & Parametric Design — Barberio Colella Architetti

Digital & Parametric Design

BINBAZ TOWERS

Binbaz Towers is a proposal for a mixed-use complex in Riyadh that reinterprets forms of Arab architecture in a contemporary style, featuring curved geometries optimised for the local climate and prevailing winds. The project incorporates bioclimatic strategies and facade solutions to reduce solar gain and overheating, prioritising natural ventilation and indoor comfort. The scheme combines hospitality, residential and healthcare functions, with public spaces and green spaces serving as key urban elements.
