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.

The project area is located in the Portello neighbourhood, an area of Milan subject to a strong urban redevelopment that is deeply transforming its nature. The aim is to create a modern, efficient, functional and iconographic building that speaks to the new urban fabric where it takes place through a total demolition and reconstruction.
The design purpose is to mend thetwo edges of the urban fabric in which it occurs through the creation of a nine floors building with a terraces structure that acts as a connection between the two types of architecture at the site boundary.
