The project involves the refurbishment of the building designed in the early 1970s by the Arch. Zanuso and characterized by the presence of pre-fabricated horizontal marcapian bands. The aim of the intervention is the creation of a modern and flexible office building with important energy and civil engineering requalification interventions, while retaining the strong character of the original building, especially with regard to prefabricated parapet bands.
On the ground floor the façades are completely transparent and create a new relationship with the environment by communicating the planned retail spaces and the new lobby with the surrounding environment.
The reshaping of the ribbon facades introduces vertical glass blades in the orthogonal direction to the windows that, together with the particular design of the window sills and interior vats, help to increase the natural light input in the work spaces.
The project is certified LEED Platinum.
In collaboration with Park Associati.
