Palestra di Giò

The "La casa di Giò" project was developed as part of a competition held by the Municipality for the design of a gymnasium for wheelchair users. The goal was to develop a distinctive and inclusive architectural design, fully compliant with regulatory and functional requirements for users with reduced mobility, while keeping costs within the limited budget established for the competition.
The building features a load-bearing structure made of steel profiles and lattice beams in the roof, a solution that allows for wide spans and creates a spacious, flexible, and obstacle-free interior. The interior layout was designed with linear paths and dimensions that ensure autonomy, safety, and ease of use of the spaces, from the changing rooms to the restrooms.
The color scheme reflects the colors of the Parma teams of the Polisportiva di Giò, to which the project is dedicated, giving the building a strong identity and a direct link with the local sports community.
