An energy redevelopment that respects history

Renovating a historic building means facing a challenge that is as complex as it is fascinating: preserving the architectural and cultural identity of the past, while at the same time integrating the best technologies and solutions of the present. This is the approach that has guided the energy renovation of the historic villa located at Via Roma 42 in Porto Ceresio, an intervention that has managed to unite innovation and respect for the original soul of the building.

Interventions carried out

  • Preliminary analysis and detailed survey
    The project began with a thorough analysis of the existing conditions, including the survey of the smallest architectural details. This phase was essential to ensure that each intervention was perfectly integrated with the existing structures and respected the proportions, materials, and original colors.


  • Total insulation of the envelope
    To improve energy performance without altering aesthetics, the entire building envelope has been insulated:


    • Facades and basements with 15 cm insulation system

    • Roof completely redone, with 12 cm insulation above the original wooden beams and subsequent laying of the tiles

    • Requalification of the dormers, in line with the philological restoration of the roof


  • Installation of photovoltaic systems for private use
    Each residential unit has been equipped with 8 photovoltaic panels with a peak power of 3.28 kW and a 10 kWh storage system, ensuring energy autonomy and environmental sustainability.


  • Restoration of decorative architectural elements
    One of the most delicate aspects of the intervention was the aesthetic restoration of the sills, thresholds, and lintels originally made of Carrara marble.


    • The elements were recreated in high-density polystyrene, coated with special fiberglass to ensure durability against weather conditions.

    • Two professional restorers then handcrafted the surface, returning to sight and touch the elegance and authentic effect of the original white marble.

Achieved results

After 11 months of work, the building has been transformed into a perfect example of integrated historical and energy redevelopmen:


  • Significant improvement in energy performance, with a completely insulated envelope and new generation systems.-

  • Impeccable aesthetic integration, with facades, frames, and architectural details restored in full respect of the original style.-

  • Energy autonomy for each unit, thanks to photovoltaics and storage systems.-

  • Preservation of historical identity, thanks to the use of modern technologies that do not alter the image of the building.


This redevelopment represents a virtuous example of how efficiency and sustainability can coexist with beauty and architectural memory, enhancing the building and cultural heritage of our territory.
