A family breakfast surrounded by greenery, a romantic dinner under the starry sky, a relaxing tea having a chat with friends. All this is possible thanks to the greenhouse bar restaurant designed by the architect Sergio Gallicani and built by Cardelli Bros for the Monteoliveto park in Pistoia.
A structure of 80 square meters completely made of glass, a hi-tech green building that has become the heart of one of the main green areas of the city. The greenhouse bar restaurant in Monteoliveto is in fact part of a beautiful park of 16 thousand square meters populated by magnolias, cypresses, olive trees and cedars, and is the heart of the redevelopment project of the park of Pistoia.

The Monteoliveto park in Pistoia has always been a point of attraction and a meeting place for citizens but needed to be redeveloped. This is the start of a project that aims to encourage people to experience the park, at any time of the year: among workshops for children, night dj sets and areas dedicated to sports, there is the greenhouse bar restaurant, a building that represents at best the sustainable philosophy behind the redevelopment project. The greenhouse stands in the middle of the park, attracting the attention of all those who walk in Monteoliveto.
It is a green building of about 80 square meters where you can eat, from breakfast to dinner, completely surrounded by greenery and in all seasons of the year: in winter, the greenhouse is heated by a charming wood stove and in summer the exchange of air is ensured by technological ventilation system.
The greenhouse bar restaurant is therefore the ideal place to encourage people to experience the park, at any time of day and in any month of the year.
Cardelli Bros is specialized in the realization of eco-sustainable and innovative projects and has always aimed to combine design with hi-tech architecture. This is exactly what happened with the Monteoliveto greenhouse bar restaurant: it is in fact a green building with a technological soul, an innovation so interesting that it has been mentioned in the national press, from Gambero Rosso to La Repubblica.
The structure is metallic and the entire perimeter is in laminated glass, so that sunlight illuminates the entire dehor perfectly.
It is a wide octagonal building, with a nave width of 9.9m, a covered area of 81sqm and an eave height of 3m.
Equipped with 4 sliding doors and two ridge windows complete with automatic motorization, the greenhouse bar restaurant has a very sophisticated mobile shading system: thanks to a series of shading/reflecting sheets mounted sloping outside at a distance of not less than 60-100cm, it is possible to ensure a good cooling in the summer months. The movement of the sheets is ensured by a series of steel cables powered by a gear motor.
Cardelli Bros, specialized in hi-tech architecture, has also supplied the control panels with Agrilux electronic controllers and the electrical system for connecting the motors to the control panel, for a simple and intuitive management.
