The project is located in the heart of the new financial district of Milan, near Garibaldi train station and piazza Gae Aulenti.
As such it sits at the intersection of the older, traditional Milan and the new “glass and steel” district that has transformed the city.
Our design tries to capture this unique context as well as acknowledging the prominent corner the building stands on.

Autodesk also represents one of the most cutting edge design tools in the industry and it is not surprising therefore that the brief explicitly encouraged design and it’s ability to reconcile an international brand that recognizes a local culture: how to speak of both an international reality and a local flair in Europe’s design capital.
The space chosen is as far from the 2.7m high, flexible open plan spaces we areall use to seeing. In fact the building chosen is in the heart of Milan’s reconverted trendy ex industrial area and offers exiting double height mezzanine volumes, large glazed openings, an inner courtyard and is everything but flexible.
