Supporting healing through architecture and landscape

The project for the Nuova Villa Bellombra is born around the idea of supporting the healing of polytraumatized patients through the provision of an external environment strongly connected to the interiors which, through its natural beauty, stimulates the desire to live and visit it with the consequence of strengthening the will to "get back on one's feet". Being able to savor the flow of the seasons and the different climatic conditions benefits patients who no longer feel isolated from the outside world. These design inputs have given life to a hospital park with a breath that is not only architectural but also landscape and urbanistic
