CONVITTO A MALLES
New building for a boarding school with canteen and gymnasium in Malles

Client: Provincia di Bolzano
Team: AM3 architetti associati, Studio Cangemi sas, Ing. Gabriele Pecoraro
Location: Malles (BZ), Italy
Year: 2014
Project status: two stage competition – 1° prize
Rendering: UpLab

The new boarding school establishes precise space relationships with the context, and to a larger scale, it opens onto the landscape towards Mount Stelvio and the Müstair Valley. A horizontal volume stands against the retaining wall along the North East boundary and it contains the level drop between the uncultivated land on the mountainside and the ground level of the lot. Transversally the lot is occupied by a "U" shaped volume, whose position is gauged in order to determine immediate and simple connections with the South East boundary lots.

The construction of the new building generates three types of outdoor spaces:  a public space to the South which is intended to be a park in direct relationship both with the residual agricultural land and with the school positioned to the North East; a private courtyard with a garden which all the common facilities overlook; a service area to the North which is dedicated to parking lots, facility premises, and to the loading and unloading area of the kitchen. The ground floor of the boarding school houses the common facilities of the fitness room, the canteen, and the study area. The two floors which develop above form a compact and separate block that contains the lodgings, while in the basement of the volume standing against the retaining wall there are the storerooms for the sports equipment and the garage.
