TIMENET HEADQUARTER
Team invited competition project second placed with Arch. Daniele Baldini and Ing. Pietro Cretella, September 2019
The inspiring idea for the design concept of the new Timenet headquarters in Empoli is to strongly link the relationship between workplace and nature. A part of the volume was extracted from a simple but closed form to receive the light within the building in witness of the green in an attempt to re-propose the model of the Mediterranean internal courtyard, on which the production areas overlook to offer a transparent place dedicated to calm and reflection. The facades are made permeable to the outside through large openings, shielded by a micro-perforated sheet coating system. The high energy performance of the building is the result of a combination of quality construction materials, architectural and plant design choices.
