2023 – I PRIZE

ARX wins the first prize for the award of the integrated design contract, the coordination of safety in the planning phase and the implementation of the works of the new Casa Comunale in the Municipality of San Cascino in Val di Pesa, with Consorzio GST Appalti e Costruzioni.

The building, which will occupy a building area of 1800 mq, will then be built in elevation of 3 levels, from the plan of cover of the north-east wing of the current building intended for public parking with access from viale Terracini and to the side of the retaining wall of viale Corsini.

The new electric bus depot consists of an underground parking deck with separate access from the depot. The structure – developed along the front bordering the fuel service station – houses offices, changing rooms and services on the first floor; on the ground floor are the workshop, waiting rooms for drivers and the porter’s lodge. The building is two storeys above ground and the roof provides a visual screen hiding the parked buses. The building is made up of elementary forms reminiscent of the industrial typology: the perimeter volume links the built-up spaces with the empty ones, determining through the upper overhang a covered area near the pedestrian entrances and the porter’s lodge. A micro-perforated “screen” reveals spaces and volumes. The staircase and the steel parapet find continuity in the upper segment of the “C”, underlining the horizontality of the structure. The external walls are characterised by the contrast between a rough sprayed concrete cladding and smooth plaster, also following the jumps in volume of the elevation.
