VALTORTA32, designed by the studio of Cino Zucchi, one of the most recognised names in contemporary international architecture, took shape starting in 2017 and develops over a total volume of 36,200 m³. The project rises on an area of approximately 4,500 m² at the corner of Via Rovetta and Via Valtorta, within an urban context undergoing transformation, which the intervention contributes to revitalising and redefining.
The complex is conceived as a courtyard building, a typology capable of combining urban density with high‑quality living spaces. It consists of two residential buildings arranged in an “L” shape along the northern and eastern edges of the site: a ten‑storey tower and a four‑storey block, both positioned to enclose and protect a large planted inner garden, the green heart of the entire development.
The architectural design enhances the relationship with this semi‑public inner landscape, creating a quiet, sheltered urban interior that becomes a place for social interaction and environmental quality for residents. The volumetric articulation, the composition of the façades and the careful landscape design all contribute to a project that engages with the existing fabric while reinterpreting it through a refined and recognisable contemporary language.
