Reconstruction, Integration and Sustainable Redevelopment

The new Carabinieri Station in Fiuminata was conceived to merge the Territorial and Forestry Units into a single, efficient complex, replacing the buildings damaged by the 2016 earthquake.

Designed by ENGLOBE for the General Command of the Carabinieri, the project represents a model of integrated and sustainable reconstruction, combining structural safety, energy efficiency, and architectural coherence with the surrounding mountain landscape.

Architectural concept and design approach

The new facility is composed of two volumes – the Command Building and the Residential Block – linked by a central patio that separates functions while maintaining visual continuity with the valley.

Its architectural language reinterprets local materials and forms in a contemporary way: stone cladding, continuous pitched roofs, and controlled openings define a structure that blends tradition and modern efficiency.

Closed façades facing the main road and open terraces overlooking the valley emphasize the balance between institutional identity and environmental harmony.

Structure, energy and environmental quality

The structural system in reinforced concrete ensures full seismic resistance, while thermal brick infill and sustainable materials enhance comfort and durability.

The project features high-efficiency MEP systems, solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and compliance with Italy’s Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM).

Through a coordinated and multidisciplinary design, ENGLOBE delivers a public building that stands as both a functional infrastructure and a symbol of post-earthquake renewal for the Fiuminata community.
