Read moreThe district develops on the outskirts of Bologna, along the course of the Savena river. The area is crossed by two important and ancient roads, the “Via Emilia” and the “Strada della Futa”, along which the most ancient settlements were concentrated. “Via Due Madonne” is documented since the first half of the 18th century (1740), presumably there were two votive shrines on the road.
In this context, the Municipality of Bologna has promoted building development and recovery plans in order to provide a new context in the form of “village” with facilities and spaces for the community, with a school complex and an important sports and aggregation facility as focus.
Novowood has collaborated in the building development project for residential units by designing and supplying sliding panels and fixed partition walls for balconies consisting of WPC louvers systems. The Novowood 60x40 and 75x40 louvers systems in wood color represent a functional element with a high design component.
The warmth of the WPC elements, combined with the contemporary glass of the balconies create a pleasant contrast.
