The project aims to reclaim a World War II air raid shelter through renovation and expansion.

The project transformed an abandoned structure into a cheese aging facility, an example of sustainable architecture combining historical preservation with a new function. The bunker's natural characteristics, such as a constant temperature of 12°C and 96% humidity, were enhanced to reduce energy consumption and ensure optimal operating conditions. Renamed "Il Rifugio del Lauro," the space extends over an 80-meter tunnel, equipped with a natural ventilation system using the original air intakes.

The project demonstrates how the regeneration of decommissioned military structures can generate new productive and cultural opportunities, transforming a place steeped in history into an innovative and vibrant environment.
