About

An important work overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, custom-made with high teck corners as per the BIM project.

Mineral fiber insulation for the walls and roofs capable of resisting fire for 240′ and wind pressure that reaches up to 80km/h.

From the very beginning, the Gigayachts project was characterized as an important challenge from an architectural and structural point of view, both for the considerable size of the buildings and for their position so close to the city center and less than 50m from the sea.

Everything was designed to mitigate as much as possible the inevitable impact on the skyline of Livorno without sacrificing the modern and elegant image.

On the front towards the city, the height of the warehouse was mitigated by the volumes of the service building and the span of the old workshop which have a more urban scale and are differentiated by color and facade design.

The largest building, blue like the sky, is characterized by a fine external skin, with diffused transparencies and horizontal light cuts that dematerialize the facade creating an apparent lightness.

The particular geographical location exposes the buildings to harsh environmental conditions due to the wind which, exceeding 140 km/h, generates pressures that can reach 2 kN/m2. Added to this is the saltiness carried by the sea breeze which is able to oxidize inadequately protected metal structures in a few days.

Lattonedil panels were used for the construction, in rock wool for the walls while for the PIR roofing all covered in pre-painted steel and guaranteed for 30 years, we were able to ensure the high standards required for the construction with certain times and sustainable costs.
