Sustainability Report

Refurbishing and retrofitting the building minimizes environmental impact while preserving its historical and cultural significance. Camplus San Pietro, already designated for preservation by Rome's "Carta per la Qualità" due to its architectural merit, underwent minimal intervention to honor its brutalist character. This approach reduced material usage, thereby lowering the carbon footprint during the refurbishment. Concrete, used sparingly, was limited to structural reinforcement and seismic retrofitting, such as external column jacketing, when necessary. The building retained its existing brutalist style, and MEP elements were deliberately left visible or partially concealed with metal mesh, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic.

The landscape project incorporates a living façade and a redesigned landscape. The living façade effectively absorbs up to 811 kg/sqm of CO2 annually, utilizing fast-growing, low-maintenance evergreen climbing plants like Trumpet vine, roses, clematis, silver lace vine, and grape ivy. The permeable surface area increased from 56% to 85% through the implementation of rain gardens and drainage pavers like i.idro Drain in parking and pathways. Additionally, 102 trees were planted throughout the garden. These improvements are estimated to absorb 77 kg of polluting substances and 22,088 kg of CO2 annually, offsetting 30% of the building's carbon footprint, each year.
