Created by the architect and designer Antonio Citterio, the new residential project was coordinated and implemented by the architect Gianluca Tronconi, who he has worked with since 1992.

“We used murogeopietra to construct the external walls for the Santa Barbara residences in Bormio. These consisted of two adjacent buildings designed for residential use. The ground-floor flats face onto gardens and those on higher floors onto terraces with wooden structures. The material was chosen after researching traditional materials in the area. We needed a stone finish with a significant amount of bedding mortar to alternate with the structural wood covering and the local grey stone covering external paving. Murogeopietra made it possible to finish off corner details on openings perfectly. The technological requirements to contain energy consumption also influenced this architectural choice. We used murogeopietra for the EPS thermal cladding on the curtain wall which, being thin and highly efficient, produced a category A construction. We were delighted with the outcome from using Geopietra, both in aesthetic and technological terms”.
