Townhouses famous projects: the example of a contemporary settlement in Bernareggio, by Mario Botta
Townhouses in Bernareggio: work description
The project consists of ten terraced houses built on three levels plus a basement and grouped in a single block parallel to the external road. The buildings design is conceived as an element of strong characterization with respect to the fragmented context in which it is inserted, looking like a sort of monolithic wall built at the edge of the dwelling area.
The houses row has been built along the axis originating from the center of the village. Houses are placed side by side alternating a full red brick facade to hollow parts which are created at the entrances of the different units.

Each unit is endowed with a staircase and an elevator distributing the building residential functions on different levels:
- on the basement there are technical rooms and a hobby room;
- on the ground floor there is a garage, the main entrance and an independent study;
- on the first floor there is the living area occupying the entire building's depht which is opened to loggias and terraces created on the front part and facing eastward and westward;
- on the top level there are three bedrooms.
The interplay of spaces makes the building recognizably distinct. The main facade is outlined by built-in lodges whereas the north and south sides are completely isolated from sunlight. The supporting structure is entirely in reinforced concrete; the external cladding combines red paramano facing bricks with black painted aluminum frames.

Main construction characteristics
Some important building features:
- structures: beams, columns and reinforced concrete slabs
- facade: red paramano facing bricks
- roof: flat and not feasible
- windows: black painted aluminum
Terraced house and BIM. How to model staircases and elevators
To conclude, two short explanatory videos inspired by the townhouses model in Bernareggio illustrating how easy it is to work with a BIM methodology. Specifically, we will show how to design stairs and elevators in this particular structure.
