Camilluccia 535 is the result of the regeneration of an abandoned building in the green heart of a prestigious Roman neighborhood. The project reinterprets the early 20th-century Roman "villino" in a contemporary key, fostering a dialogue between architecture and nature. Spread over five levels and organized into three spacious units, the building blends into the landscape with dynamic forms and distinctive materials. Its articulated volumes, large windows, and projecting terraces highlight the connection between inside and outside. The architecture adapts to the natural context, combining memory and innovation with high energy efficiency, sustainability, and living comfort.
In a rarefied context marked by isolated interventions, Camilluccia 535 establishes a strong dialogue with the urban surroundings. On the street side, the building presents compact, linear volumes that echo the sobriety of the neighborhood. On the inner side, facing the park, the architecture opens into fluid, articulated forms with projecting terraces and staggered volumes shaped by the surrounding vegetation. Large windows enhance the visual connection with nature, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. The C-shaped layout creates a central open space, encouraging a close interaction between nature and architecture, turning the building into a responsive organism that breathes with its environment.
Painted aluminium was the necessary choice for the envelope due to its combination of aesthetic value, durability, and functionality. The sublimation treatment with a bleached wood effect gives the metal a warm, natural appearance, harmonizing with the sandstone cladding and creating a dialogue with the surrounding greenery. Beyond its visual appeal, aluminium ensures weather resistance, lightness, and long-term ease of maintenance. This choice enhances the architectural composition, adding verticality and rhythm, while aligning with a contemporary language that underscores the project’s balance between tradition and innovation.
The Camilluccia 535 project was developed with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental compatibility. Several technical measures were adopted, including advanced thermal insulation, low-emissivity windows, underfloor heating, and heat pump-based climate control. The building is equipped with photovoltaic and solar thermal panels for renewable energy production, as well as low-consumption LED lighting and charging stations for electric vehicles. All selected materials are non-toxic and VOC-free, with water-saving taps and sanitary fixtures. These strategies ensure high energy performance and reduced environmental impact, while enhancing overall living comfort.
Camilluccia 535 seeks to merge tradition and innovation within a refined residential context, creating a harmonious dialogue between architecture, landscape and sustainability, while offering a contemporary reinterpretation of the early 20th-century Roman "villino".
At the heart of this architectural dialectic is a fluid relationship with nature: the building adapts to its surroundings like a living organism, where staggered volumes, projecting terraces, and large glazed surfaces form a dynamic, vibrant architectural landscape. Its C-shaped layout, with an open central core, enhances the visual and spatial continuity between indoor and outdoor, offering a living experience immersed in nature.
The project is defined by attention to construction details and the expressive quality of its materials: sandblasted sandstone with tactile, vibrant finishes interacts with sublimated aluminium profiles featuring a bleached wood effect, combining aesthetics and function. Light is a design material, enhanced through natural tones, reflective surfaces, and full-height windows that enrich spatial perception and living quality.
Sustainability, in its broadest sense, lies at the core of the concept, through the use of traceable materials, smart technologies for resource efficiency and innovative solutions that elevate living comfort. Camilluccia 535 thus positions itself as an efficient, sustainable and forward-thinking residential model, aligned with the evolving standards of high-end housing.
Founded in 1972, Studio Transit is a Rome-based architectural firm working across urban regeneration, infrastructure, and interiors. With over 50 years of experience, it combines creativity, technical rigor, and a multigenerational team of architects and engineers. Co-founded by Gianni Ascarelli and joined in the 2000s by Pistolesi, Vinci, and De Micheli, the studio has embraced innovation and international challenges. Its portfolio includes 20 subway stations, Rome’s tallest skyscraper, the Angelini HQ, and major residential developments. Studio Transit focuses on dynamic, energy-efficient architecture and urban revitalization. Teamwork and a cross-disciplinary approach—ranging from restoration to landscaping—are central to its design process. Based in Rome’s Ostiense district, the studio is a creative lab where research and practice meet to shape a more sustainable and socially aware built environment.
