🇮🇹 Bellagio
1 / 21 Photos & Plans
314 m² custom light gauge steel hillside residence with swimming pool, engineered for Italian NTC 2018 seismic statics, Alpine slope topography, and zero-tariff A.TR delivery.
The property was situated on a 32-degree steep hillside with narrow mountain access roads overlooking Lake Como. Conventional reinforced concrete construction would have required extensive hillside excavation, heavy tower cranes, and months of disruptive road closures.
SerVilla engineered a high-tensile cold-formed steel structure weighing only 16.4 tons (70% lighter than concrete). The framing members were pre-engineered to transport lengths and delivered by medium rigid trucks. A local 4-man construction team guided by one SerVilla bilingual supervisor erected the full structural frame and weather-tight shell in just 12 working days without heavy cranes.
From initial 3D BIM engineering in Istanbul to jobsite handover in Bellagio.
BIM 3D modeling in Vertex BD and 3D finite-element stress analysis. Full structural calculation book (Relazione di Calcolo) and foundation reaction tables delivered to client's Italian civil engineer for Genio Civile filing.
High-speed roll-forming of all S350GD galvanized profiles with 100% individual inkjet part numbering and sequential package strapping for steep site delivery.
Issuance of official A.TR Movement Certificate (0% EU customs duty). Loading onto standard mega curtainsider truck, Ro-Ro sailing from Pendik to Trieste, and direct highway haulage to Como.
Chemical anchor bolt setting on concrete slab, ground floor wall assembly, floor diaphragm joists, and roof truss erection overseen on site by a bilingual SerVilla structural engineer.
Transparent delineation between factory-engineered elements and local on-site trade coordination.
Building on a steep slope over Lake Como seemed impossible with local concrete contractors. SerVilla delivered the entire frame in days, the statics passed Genio Civile without a single objection, and the thermal insulation in winter is extraordinary.
Frequently asked engineering, customs, and assembly questions regarding the Bellagio delivery.
Yes. Our structural calculations were strictly formatted to Italian NTC 2018 and Eurocodes 1, 3, and 8, including 3D response spectrum seismic analysis and foundation anchor reactions, allowing the client’s Italian structural engineer to deposit the file immediately.
The steel framing members were pre-engineered to transport lengths and delivered via medium rigid trucks. Because the cold-formed steel structure weighs 70% less than reinforced concrete, the framing was erected in 12 days using light lifting gear without heavy tower cranes.
Yes. By integrating 140 mm dense mineral wool inside the stud cavity with 80 mm continuous external insulation (cappotto termico), the wall assembly achieves a U-value of 0.15 W/m²K, easily surpassing Lombardy energy requirements.
