Our projects always start with a story

The coastal city of Genova is addressing climate and social challenges and has reshaped a former military barrack by deploying co-created nature-based solutions (NBS) within the H2020-funded UNaLab project.

Parco Portello in Milan, designed by Charles Jencks and LAND Italia, is a multi-level concept of urban regeneration. It is a sculptural gesture, full of opportunities not only for recreation, fun and sport, but also to reflect more deeply on the relationship between humankind and nature.

The Parco Unione project addresses the dual identity of the Sesto San Giovanni area, bridging the historical urban fabric of ex-Falck industries with the marks of recent industrial transformations.

The Arcore Water Park protects the area from flooding and allows people to enjoy a natural environment also designed for social and aggregation purposes. It is large natural reservoir, planted with hygrophilous vegetation species, capable of storing water up to a capacity of 14 thousand cubic metres and then slowly dispersing it. A green meadow on which one can safely walk in the absence of rain, is a symbol and landmark of the park itself.

Furla Progetto Italia, is an industrial architecture and office project integrated into nature, where quality of workplaces and sustainability meet the landscape.

Casa di Langa is an eco-sustainable resort with the desire to connect to the surrounding landscape and encourage its exploration, to offer the guests a deep dive into nature and local culture.

The charging station is an “urban living room” that offers pleasant waiting and creates a “micro-landscape” within the city. The project aims to imagine a new model capable of dismantling the paradigm and aesthetics of traditional refuelling stations. A place to recharge both cars and people: “Plug-in Nature”

In Milan’s metropolitan area, the Lura River Retention Basins address the growing challenge of climate-induced flooding. By transforming a once mono-functional agricultural space and low-value wooded areas between Lomazzo, Cadorago, and Bregnano within Lura Park, we’ve crafted flood mitigation basins and new riverbanks using nature-based solutions.

Awarded through a European tender, our project in Taranto’s Tamburi District focuses on transforming a degraded area into a vibrant ‘urban forestation’. This initiative integrates extensive phytoremediation with a public park, enhancing urban nature and community life.

A strategic plan for sustainable tourism

The project to enhance the landscape at Ca’ Corniani develops the “strategy of reanimation” of the rural territory, integrating the current flourishing agricultural activity with extensive quality promotion interventions in the most extensive of Genagricola’s 25 agricultural companies.

The project is intended as an opportunity to expand Porta Nuova’s polycentric system. Tertiary buildings and new housing facilities are thoroughly combined and integrated with the existing ancient residential buildings and open public areas

The main goal of the project Costermano sul Garda Environmental Excellence is to define a strategy that seeks to protect the landscape and qualify the open spaces of the municipal area in order to increase experiential tourism.

Porta Nuova is the biggest urban redevelopment project ever carried out in the heart of Milan. The project extends over three neighbourhoods (Garibaldi, Varesine, and Isola) and involves a 290,000 m² brownfield site that has been deteriorating for over 50 years. The landscape design focuses on creating a large park and extends to the design of both hardscape and softscape for the inner courts and the main pathways.

The park is situated to the south of Sondrio, at the confluence of the Adda and Mallero rivers. The landscape design introduces a series of concave and convex landforms that evoke the natural contours of riverbanks. The project prioritised using low environmental impact materials and employed techniques such as reforestation and phytoremediation.

The Rubattino Urban Recovery Program started in 1997 and involves an area of 323,825 sqm that was once the industrial site of the car manufacturer Maserati.

The project is located north of Naviglio Martesana, between the area of the metro line Milan / Cologno and Via Piave. It develops and inserts the new architectural building complex and the new viability of the sector, starting from the landscape with several kinds of parks.
