CONTENTS

With climate change and environmental degradation threatening our planet, sustainable architecture has never been so at the forefront of people’s attention.

Many architects and builders currently manifest an or interest in environmental sustainability and consequently for ecologically defined buildings and construction projects. However, it is quite rare to find an architect with a comprehensive experience and expertise in what is defined as “green building”.

99.nine fits into this context with its wide range of products and services.

According to the philosophy of the company, the structure becomes “sustainable” in three dimensions and finding the right compromise between the three aspects of: affordable costs, environmentally friendly materials and clean technologies for energy production - while respecting the ecosystem that hosts the module.

“The idea of sustainability or eco-friendly design is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities’ of future generations. ”Doerr ArchitectureDefinition of Sustainability and the Impacts of Buildings.

GO GREEN

By 2050 the global population will reach 9 billion, with an exponential increase in the demand for water, food and energy that will exceed our current capacity of supply. This is the real challenge of our century.

99.nine wants to respond to the growing need for a revolutionary approach, embracing a philosophy of global change. Business owners and leaders who do not support this revolutionary change will find themselves behind in the years to come. Now is the right time to start applying sustainable solutions as the only way forward, toensure a healthier future for generations to come.

“we have the capacity and ability to create a remarkably different economy, one that can restore ecosystems and protect the environment, while bringing forth innovation, prosperity, meaningful work and true security…. a restorative economy that unites ecology and commerce into one sustainable act of production and distribution.”Paul Hawken - Environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist and writer.

SUSTAINABILITY

There is no doubt that unlike recent years, the sensitivity of people in relation to environmental issues, the reduction of emissions and greenhouse gases, the collection of waste and sustainable Eco-Friendly mobility, has grown considerably thanks to the ‘mass-media’ supported by major international organisations. However, at a time in which it is extremely easy to talk about respect for the environment, now is the time to move from words to actions.

It is within this context and frame-work that our project fits: to provide a service to the community thanks to a functional structure for modern needs, that naturally suits the environment in which it is placed, and at the same time giving birth to a collective respect for the environment.

One of the objectives of 99.nine is, to overcome the belief that, it is not possible to design, create and build a structure that is at the same time functional, durable and architecturally state-of-the-art, while simultaneously taking care of the environment, favouring or promoting and encouraging sustainable mobility.

OBJECTIVES

PARKING LOT MODULE

BATHING HUTS MODULE

99.nine can develop projects that are able to meet all the client’s requirements, delivering maximum results in minimum time. Whether it is aesthetic needs or economic, we will be able to create structures that are in complete harmony with local environment, architectural style and budget.

The services offered starts from the singular, stand-alone structure - made with eco-friendly and reusable material - to complete units and buildings incorporating fully self- contained solar power electrical systems. These structures and buildings would be inclusive of annual maintenance service.

DESIGN - Dimensions and materials can be customized to the client’s every need. With solar-powered structures and buildings, a sight-survey of the location will be however necessary, to verify the local climate conditions in which the modules will be located and to ensure maximum efficiency of the installed solar-power systems.ASSEMBLY - The installation of a singular structure can be completed in just one day. This could vary in cases where additional services, such as solar-power systems, plumbing for the supply of water, or any specific client requirements. MAINTENANCE - Included in the service there is an annual inspection to check the status of the structure before proceeding with the maintenance plan, which also varies depending on the materials chosen.LEASING - To meet the diversity of client’s needs, we offer the a leasing solution, with the possibility of purchasing at the request of the customer.

“Our strength is based primarily on flexibility. We respect but mostly we adapt to the environment in which we place our products, without losing what is the architectural sensibility that set us apart”Pierpaolo Giannuzzi - architect at 99.nine

In addition to creating customized units and buildings, 99.nine aims to promote the distribution of multifunctional and multipurpose public facilities that contribute to improving the everyday activities of citizens through the use of interactive tools and innovative technology services:

INFO-POINT A point of reference for both tourists and citizens alike. Through the use of the internet, which would allow the user to browse for services and solutions offered by the local community.

WI-FI ZONE As the natural response to the daily needs of citizens and tourists. The Wi-Fi Zone offers a free internet connection service, ensuring the pleasure of open spaces without having to disrupt any, social, professional or study activities.

BIKE CHARGING This is a service point that offers the possibility of recharge the battery of your bicycle in safety while doing other activities.

BATTERY SHARING As an additional service to the Bike Charging, also available to users who are unable to, or, do not have the time to wait, is ability to exchange their battery with an already fully charged battery.

POSSIBLEAPPLICATIONS

URBAN BUS STOP MODULE

HOUSING UNIT MODULE

Consistent with the 99.nine philosophy, every structure is designed to fit and is fully adaptable to the location where it will be placed fully respecting its surroundings.

The materials chosen for the shelter are completely recyclable and environmentally friendly. For our projects we select panels, fixtures and fittings exclusively composed of paper and natural resins, wood, glass, aluminium and other applicable eco-friendly materials. These materials offer excellent performance and are selected for their exceptional tensile strength, resistance to abrasion and the effect of acidic substances. They also guarantee a high resistance to weather and fire.

The assembly of a single module is extremely easy and requires little time. The entire structure of the module is designed to enable the combination of further shelters, with no limit in number. This allows the creation of complex modular structures, starting from a singular model.

The modules can be integrated with a solar-powered source of energy sized and calibrated according to the type of use required,l for its entire working life, sized and calibrated according to the type of use required. The module is designed to be a stand-alone, free-standing structure allowing problem-free installation wherever and whenever it is required, without the need for new point of connection to the local electricity network .

To meet the energy needs in bad weather, the structure may be fitted with energy storage batteries in conjunction with the solar power system.

In the case of solar panel systems, it is necessary that the roof to be inclined at 15 degrees, in order to enable optimum absorption of sunlight.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS

As previously explained all aspects of the implementation of our systems are evaluated and measured in order to offer a product that is consistent with a full 360 degrees logic of environmental sustainability. For this reason, the products offered may change function several times during their life cycle, through the complete reuse of all the constituent parts.

With the same accuracy with which our projects are developed, we evaluate the suitability of the production companies that supply the various components, as well as their policy towards environmental sustainability.

Since this is a structure which will be inserted in a space and in a context not originally intended to receive it, it is necessary that it must be “sustainable” in its broadest sense. The concept of sustainability implies three fundamental dimensions: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability. It is not possible to consider a structure “sustainable” if it is construction or its maintenance costs lead to exorbitant fees. It also cannot be considered “sustainable” if is to operate in a social context not in total harmony with its surrounding, becoming a nuisance and creating discomfort to the community.

For the development of a project that meets all our client’s needs, the 99.nine team are available to offer a of professional and in-depth consultation to help our clients choose the best product for their requirements.
