The building: history and restoration
The Fondaco dei Tedeschi is a historic building in Venice, northern Italy, situated on the Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge. It was built in 1228 as the headquarters and restricted living quarters of the city’s German (Tedeschi) merchants and destroyed twice by fires, then rebuilt in the sixteenth century, before being transformed into a Customs office during the Napoleonic period.
The restoration of the building, which has been leased to the luxury giant LVMH, has been completed in summer 2016. The building’s recovery project was entrusted to Studio Oma, belonging to the famous architect Rem Koolhaas, and is based on the idea of re-establishing the historical link between Venetian culture and commerce. The interiors have been designed by the young British architect Jamie Fobert, considered a rising star of interior design. Also Favero & Milan Ingegneria, an Italian company with many overseas offices and vast experience in complex work has taken part in the project.
Comfort and Sustainability: the HVAC system
To get the best internal comfort in such a wide and tall building with a large central court, and a lot of different corner shops inside, it was necessary to design an innovative HVAC system.
