1st Grade Delivery by 19 September 2023 | 16.00
The Ufficio Pio Foundation – in collaboration with the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation and with the patronage of the City of Rivoli – has announced a competition whose object is the re-functionalization of the “Villa Mater – Riccardo De Angeli” building complex (of which it is the owner), located in the municipality of Rivoli (TO).
It is a historic 19th-century villa surrounded by a large park, in which there are three low-rise buildings, used as a retirement home until 2012.
The objective of the Ufficio Pio Foundation, known for its philanthropic mission, lies precisely in the recovery of the structure to bring it back to its past function, but in a contemporary and innovative guise, capable of welcoming the social and cultural challenges of the times we are living.
The reference model indicated to the participants is that of Senior Social Housing, as if it were one “collaborative residence for longevity”, who experiences new ways of living capable of mitigating the vulnerability, loneliness and exclusion associated with advancing age.
From this point of view, the ambition of Villa Mater is to offer a safe and welcoming environment where aging can take place while maintaining the maximum degree of autonomy and the best state of health, for as long as possible.
But, at the same time, the innovation lies in the definition of a new balance between private spaces, common spaces and spaces for public use, which are able to improve the living experience and the quality of life of the residents, stimulating sociality, personal activation and care of the common spaces. The park and possibly the cottages will, in fact, be open to public use and will host functions that contribute to the socio-cultural growth of the neighbourhood.
Specifically, the recovery intervention involves the construction of rented housing units at a controlled rent for a population over 60, self-sufficient, integrated with common spaces and services, able to communicate with the neighborhoodwith the aim of giving birth to a community center dedicated to the themes of active longevity.
The working groups are also required to respect the identity characteristics of the place, both architectural and landscape, and attention to sustainable solutions from an environmental, social and economic point of view.
The estimated cost of construction of the work is equal to 4,279,392.50 euros excluding VAT
