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.
In our work we seek to manage meaningful designs that are responsive to our clients’
needs, create memorable spaces that contribute to their communities and landscapes,
and touch the land and the environment as gently and as positively as possible.
