Alperia Headquarters

The new Alperia headquarters in Merano represents a contemporary approach to corporate architecture, where buildings, landscape and public space are conceived as part of a single integrated system.

Designed by Cecchetto & Associati, the project combines architectural quality with environmental performance, creating a campus that promotes sustainability, accessibility and wellbeing. The complex features a distinctive elliptical tower and a lower building with a green roof, connected by open spaces and pedestrian areas that structure the relationship between architecture and landscape.

Within this framework, Favaro1 supplied the outdoor paving in Recycle 2.0, contributing to the design of pedestrian surfaces and transition spaces between buildings, paths and green areas.

 

Recycle 2.0 is a permeable paving system developed to support sustainable urban design and landscape architecture.

Thanks to its porous structure and the use of recycled materials, the system ensures high infiltration capacity and supports the sustainable management of stormwater, helping reduce surface runoff and improve the environmental performance of outdoor spaces.

In the Alperia project, the paving system plays a strategic role in defining the spatial continuity of the campus while contributing to the environmental quality of the intervention.

 

Performance and environmental benefits

Recycle 2.0 provides several advantages for urban and architectural projects:

  • high permeability for effective stormwater infiltration
  • retention capacity supporting sustainable drainage systems
  • contribution to urban heat island mitigation
  • durable and resistant surfaces suitable for high-use environments
  • production using recycled stone aggregates

These characteristics make Recycle 2.0 an effective solution for projects that require both technical performance and architectural quality.

 

The Alperia headquarters project demonstrates how the design of surfaces can become an integral part of architecture and landscape design.

Rather than being a simple finishing element, paving becomes a functional environmental infrastructure, capable of managing water, improving microclimate conditions and enhancing the experience of outdoor spaces.

With Recycle 2.0, Favaro1 contributes to projects where the design of the ground becomes a key element of sustainable urban environments.
