nZEB two-family house in a consolidated urban area in Modena
What the track asks
In the residential district by Modena's new racetrack, the track asks for two mirrored dwellings (a two-family building) with a shared spine wall on plot 281. Local plan rules: max 2 storeys + ground floor, net storey height 3 m, footprint at least 5 m from boundaries, covered garage for at least one car. Layout: ground floor with garage, external plant room and integrated living area with a covered outdoor terrace; first floor with three double bedrooms (master with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe) and a windowed bathroom; second floor with a multi-purpose room, solar greenhouse and terrace. Regional energy rules (DGR 967/2015) impose the nZEB standard: highly insulated envelope, at least 1 kWp of solar generation per unit, care for orientation and summer shading. Linked first written test: structural-system criteria and sizing rationale.
Required drawings
Site plan 1:500; at least one sketched 3D view; plans 1:100 of all floors and roof with materials, technical stacks, lifelines and solar systems — structure, stratigraphies, dimensions and daylighting ratios in one unit, furniture in the mirrored one; cross section 1:100 at the staircase; the four elevations with materials, finishes and colours; floor-to-sky construction detail 1:20 with the three key nodes.
