Abandoned depot in Rome to become “virtuous example of urban regeneration”
An early 1900s rail and tram depot abandoned for almost 20 years in Rome will become a mixed-use private development designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti.

The 16,000-sq-m Depositi delle Vittorie in Rome’s Piazza Bainsizza will have an 8,000-sq-m rooftop garden suspended 15m above the ground with an exhibition space for sculptures set within greenery.

The ground floor will have a public courtyard connecting to the existing urban fabric.

    Other spaces will be dedicated to culture, education, commerce, co-working and leisure.

    Stefano Boeri said: “Our project for the Depositi delle Vittorie represents a virtuous example of urban regeneration, thanks to the balance achieved between the valorisation of a decommissioned and now privately owned urban infrastructure and the collective interests of the residents of a historic neighbourhood in the heart of Rome.”

    Pietro Chiodi, Stefano Boeri Architetti director, said: "The project builds a complex and integrated system of functions, designed to activate the site throughout the day.

    “The choice to focus exclusively on non-residential uses strengthens the public character of the activities located there and defines a new urban polarity.

    “At the same time, the organisation of the underground levels resolves a historical criticality of the area, improving accessibility and easing pressure on the neighbourhood.”
