One year ago there was just an ancient and largely abandoned monastery, destined to a progressive degradation. Now, thanks to the province of Lucca and to an agreement signed in 2015 between the government of the province and the state domain, there is a new school, the high school for music “Passaglia”, situated in the ancient, historic centre of Lucca.It’s a place for music training in a city with a huge tradition in this field and that contributes to consolidate the identity and the vocation of Lucca, the city of music. The project and the renovation has been cured by the architect Francesca Lazzari, director of the technical office of the  province of Lucca. The new classrooms are technically avant-garde: the project aimed to improve the structural safety of the building, even with regards to seismic events. It has also been possible to meet the most advanced criteria of energy saving and the use of eco-friendly material; moreover the historic and architectural elements lost in the previous years have been recovered thanks to the last intervention.

For this delicate project two of our products have been selected: the radiant heating Radiafloor and the S-Lock System for its anti-seismic performance. Newfloor has produced about 700sqm of raised floor composed by G30HAK panels 60x60cm, with a core of 30mm thk calcium sulphate 1500kg/mc density combined with the radiant module Radiafloor at the bottom and the porcelain finish at the top. For the substructure we have provided the innovative anti-seismic and self-centering system S-Lock System, which also improves the mechanical characteristics of the floor.
