The Vigna Murata residential project is located in the southern quadrant of Rome within Municipality VIII. Nestled in a quiet, low-density building area between Via Laurentina and Via Ardeatina, the complex is situated in an area of strategic development, made particularly attractive by its proximity to EUR, a district long renowned for its high urban quality and livability. The location guarantees excellent mobility: on one side, the Laurentina station, a fundamental public transport interchange node; on the other, Via di Vigna Murata, a crucial logistical artery for city connections.
The complex comes to life on an irregularly shaped plot covering approximately 10,900 square meters. The area is characterized by a fascinating natural change in elevation and fits into a rich and varied urban context: to the west, it opens onto a large public park elevated by about 10 meters; to the east, it is bordered by Via Grotte d’Arcaccio, while to the south it connects seamlessly with a new commercially oriented area. Rather than challenging this uneven topographical layout, we chose to embrace it, creating an architecture capable of blending intimately with the landscape.
The volumetric genesis of the project stems from a conscious and targeted choice: moving away from the idea of a single, rigid tower, deemed inappropriate for the characteristics of the Roman context, in favor of an organic and fragmented integration into the landscape.
The complex is divided into three elegant buildings of 8, 9, and 11 stories above ground, resting softly on a system of terraces designed specifically to accommodate and mitigate the steep original slope of the area. This peculiar arrangement not only restores aesthetic harmony but also guarantees each apartment optimal exposure to natural light, offering dual-facing aspects and breathtaking panoramic views.
The true heart of community life develops in the large common spaces. At street level, you will be welcomed by the “Public Square” (Piazza Pubblica), dominated by a vibrant commercial base and crossed by a majestic and scenic staircase: not a simple transit route, but a permeable threshold designed for pausing, meeting, and dialogue between residents and the city. From here, a gentle pedestrian ramp flanked by rows of trees, acting as a precious visual filter for domestic privacy, will accompany you to the upper level, leading you to the “Garden Square”.
A perfect balance between the living comfort of a modern home and the tranquility of a green oasis, in a well-served neighborhood just a short walk from EUR.
This elevated condominium green oasis reinterprets the aggregative soul of historic Roman “Courtyards” . Enriched by suspended planters populated with low-maintenance native trees, integrated seating, and overhanging canopies for useful services like the bike park, the square is meticulously designed according to the principles of “adaptive comfort”. It is an environment conceived to mitigate the “heat island” effect, offering a cool, serene, and deeply eco-sustainable place to socialize. To complete the efficiency of the system, the entire private parking floor has been organized over two underground levels that intelligently exploit the topography of the land to reduce the impact of excavations, ensuring safety and discretion without altering the greenery above.
The architectural choices outline a conscious design approach in which the organic dimension and the continuous reference to natural elements play an absolutely leading role. The entire project is firmly rooted to the ground thanks to a massive stone base, a material and mineral element that imparts a sense of stability and durability. From these foundations, the three towers rise with extreme lightness, standing out in the sky with a staggered and curvilinear flow directly inspired by the free and irregular shapes of nature.
The facades are not inert barriers, but living and changing organisms. The soft misalignment of the floors and terraces is the perfect functional expedient to accommodate lush suspended green planters, allowing vegetation to embrace the architecture. The visual dialogue between the home and the outdoors is completed by an elegant system of wood-effect vertical sunshades. These shading elements do more than just give a vibrant and deep rhythm to the composition; they play a fundamental role in internal comfort: dynamically modulating the entry of natural light and offering flexibility in visual control, creating evocative interplays of transparency and opacity. In this way, the large balconies are transformed into true transitional spaces between the warmth of the domestic hearth and the freshness of the external environment, becoming luxurious private extensions where domestic life and greenery merge without borders.
Spacious terraces, manicured gardens, and shared spaces: a new residential complex that revives the warmth and sense of community of historic Roman courtyards.
