HEADQUARTERS

To realize the objectives, and in consideration of the specific pre-existing conditions, the project started with an analysis of the entire facility to ensure that the design would not disrupt the memory of the area’s industrial past, while simultaneously focusing on new objectives relating to the workplace environment and sustainability. The analysis also included assessing the client’s needs and this, coupled with the urban planning parameters, led to the solution of a complex of four buildings set around two large biometric greenhouses- full-height spaces realized by voiding out the spans and enclosing them with full-height glazing. The greenhouses allow north light into the previously dark spaces, optimizing the building’s efficiency and workplace environment while simultaneously improving the building’s overall energy performance. South facing roofs are fitted with photovoltaic panels as well as micro-perforated mechanized shading to control heat gain through the roof. Additionally, mechanized shading is also used to control luminosity and glare in the offices. All the vertical circulation systems (stairs and lifts) are situated around the greenhouses, as well as spaces for group social interaction. The outer shell of the main building was left to respect the original dimensions, geometries, and exterior alignments within the greater context of this historic industrial zone. The facades were selectively replaced with high-performance metal cladding panels glazing.

Undertaken to create creative spaces for laboratories, showrooms and offices, the project includes the recovery of the facades facing the public roads (east, north, west) through the restoration of the brickwork, the replacement of the windows, and the demolition of the miscellaneous structures added over time. Within the perimeter of the building, in a bar-centric position, a large central court becomes the distributive entryway to the separate internal lobbies. The First Floor (+ 7.50) was expanded to complete the enclosure of the central court. The floor also includes select voids creating open, glazed patios obtained by the partial demolition of sections of the roof while maintaining the primary structure of the roof. Other terraces area created at the upper level (+ 11.47), set back from the façade and maintaining the overall volume of the original building. Divided into commercial units of various sizes for business use within the industrial shell, integrating the existing floors with steel supported mezzanines and inserting glazed patios to maximize the contribution of daylighting in the deep floor plates, the building is ideal for creative office use. A portion of the project includes a multi-story garage, completely integrated into the existing building shell. Some of the shed roofs were created by recladding and repositioning the existing metal trusses, while others were created by inserting new structural elements with characteristics and materials like the existing.

aMDL Arch. Michele De Lucchi and SCE Project

The need to restructure the historic site (also known as “Salone Pier Lombardo”) was seized as an occasion for a broader renewal of the way theater is produced and how to relate to the public. Completed in 1996, the Franco Parenti Theater is the first example of synergy between public and private in the cultural sector in Italy, bringing together Milan’s institutions, companies, and private citizens, with the aim of saving the theater from eviction. Renovated and renewed, the theater ensures the continuity of a vital space for the city.

RECENT PAST FRANCO PARENTI

THEATER

Also known as “Salone Pier Lombardo”, Teatro Franco Parenti is an institution for independent theatre and study in Milan. The goal of the new theatre project was to link the sets and the wall structure to create a modern theater machine that would bring together the character of the original theatre workshop with the notion of creating a venue that would be as open as possible to the urban context. The new theater is based on the concept of a continuous stage. The wood slats, which normally make up theatrical halls, run along a longitudinal axis that starts from the entrance, passes through the stage in the main hall, and reaches the double height foyer that overlooks the pool. The entire internal spatial distribution was revised to achieve the maximum connectivity between each of the environments. While, at the same time, the rooms needed to be acoustically isolated. The renovated theater can accommodate the performance of several shows simultaneously: one in the entrance area; one in the main hall; one in each of the two halls that flank the main hall; and also one in the foyer, extending right up to the entrances for the offices and the artists, where a platform placed in the window can be used as the stage for small neighborhood shows. The reinforced concrete skeleton, retained from the existing structure, has been treated and isolated. Piping is exposed, and has been painted blue, a characteristic of all the theater ceilings except for that in the great hall, where large acoustic panels in curved wood line the room, bouncing the sound back towards the last seating rows.

The Hangar Bicocca facility consists of three buildings: • Building A: an exposed masonry brick building with internally exposed structure and steel glazed openings; • Building B and C: steel structure buildings with insulated sheet metal cladding; • Building D: reinforced concrete building with plastered masonry blocks.

HANGAR BICOCCA

Building A, with an internal clear height averaging 6.20 meters, houses the general management and operational services of the museum, the entrance lobby, the bookstore, and the café / restaurant. The administrative offices of the museum and some of the technical rooms are located on the first floor. The rest of building A and buildings B, C and D are dedicated to exhibition. The permanent collection is in Building B, while buildings C and D are for temporary exhibitions. Support and joinery spaces servicing the exhibition area are located between each building. A radiant system laid inside the industrial concrete floor slabs provides heating in the buildings. Construction work was carried out paying the utmost attention to the conservation of the “Seven Heavenly Palaces” Anselm Kiefer’s megalithic artwork. While the outdoor spaces were carefully designed to accommodate the installation of Fausto Melotti’s “La Sequenza” artwork.

Located in Italy’s Brianza area, the building was originally constructed in the early 1940s, when Cassina used it both as a residence and a factory to produce its first industrialized products. Through the renovation, the brand wanted to keep the building’s existing features to retain the industrial history of the site. The objectives were to modernize the original stone structure and the subsequent extensions by restoring the entrance courtyard, adding a public lobby and developing new social spaces for employees.

The Brianza area has always been an important hub for Cassina’s furniture production, sales, and management, mainly because this historic area, renowned as Milan’s furniture district, offers interesting potential for growth and development due to the synergistic capabilities which are located here.

HEADQUARTERS

Cassina’s objective for the building renovation was “to allow the true essence of the headquarters to transpire, bringing it back to life in its purest form”. Patricia Urquiola, Cassina’s Art Director, wanted to celebrate the industrial character of the 1940s facility, by restoring the entrance courtyard, creating a representative public lobby, and developing new collaboration areas for social interaction. Renovations were made to the existing administrative and showroom spaces adjacent to the factory. The overall interior design concept was to maintain the features found in other new Cassina stores and carry these colors and themes over to the headquarters building. Another design objective was to highlight the use of industrial materials to make evident Cassina’s historical industrial prowess on the building’s exterior.

DEL VAPORE

The objectives of the requalification of the main building, the “Cathedral”, were to simplify and remediate some of the previous interventions, creating a functionally autonomous building which includes various support spaces. Catering and reception areas are in the west wing, and the via Messina façade was opened to the outside, creating a more direct relationship with the exterior gardens and public open spaces. To achieve the highest degree of spatial flexibility to host a variety of temporary events in the large multi-purpose hall, the permanent superstructures were reduced to a minimum, preferencing maximum flexibility and project-specific installations for temporary exhibitions. The existing walls, entirely of exposed brick, were almost completely preserved. With the sole exception of the loggias, an aerated crawlspace was added inside the building to accommodate the new finished floor. The roof, supported by a wooden structure like the original one in terms of both materials and shape, consists of a wooden plank with overlapping insulating panels finished with a layer of interlocking tiles. The glazed roof is supported by a metal frame. The bar is enclosed with a full-height glass wall; from the square, it is possible to fully appreciate the brightness and grandeur of the bar space.

Relying on the concept of celebrating the connection between building and city, the restoration project also features a flexible, public space that can be programmed to host various events and activities. Besides serving as a location for temporary exhibitions, conferences, concerts, etc., the space is often utilized as a venue for civic events and meetings. The enclosed hall’s primary structure is a series of steel ribs fixed to rectangular beams. A secondary structure connected to the main structure (the steel ribs) supports the laminated glass panels of the pod. The finish material was chosen to emphasize the contrast between the sleekness of the pod and the roughness of the exposed concrete structure. With the idea of preserving the original identity of the space – the theme of the entire operation – all structures were constructed as removable superstructures. The supporting structures of the “pod”, the counter-ceiling (placed centrally to cover the MEP systems) and the new floor, laid on the existing one, were conceived as “reversible”. In the interspace between the new and the original floor, electrical, data, and air conditioning systems were installed to be easily moved and removed.

Spiga 26 is a requalification project that will transform the existing building, located in Via della Spiga 26 with a double access from Via Senato 19, into a unique architecture dedicated to commercial activities and business spaces. The asset built in the 1950s and stands on the remains of the storical Palazzo Pertusati in the heart of the Quadrilatero della Moda, will undergo over a year of important renovations that will affect the entire surface area of 12,000 sqm. The property was acquired by a joint venture between Hines and a Dutch institutional investor and through a real estate fund managed by Savills Investment Management SGR SpA. The facade on Via della Spiga consists of a continuous front design of three floors above ground, perfectly aligned with the adjacent buildings. As for the facade facing Via Senato, it consists of six floors above ground, set back from Via Senato, in accordance with the adjacent buildings. The two buildings, on Via della Spiga and on Via Senato are connected by an internal courtyard. The project also provides for a reassessment of the previous destinations of use. Will be increased the surface area dedicated to retail on the lower floors of the complex and the upper floors, currently hosting residences, will be dedicated to services and business activities.

Thermal mass is the leading energy concept. Energy consumption is reduced through the high thermal storage capacity provided by the concrete mass itself and the distribution of concrete walls around the building’s perimeter.

The permanent exhibition occupies two ‘black box’ floors, while temporary exhibitions are housed in a naturally lit ‘white box’ on the top floor. A meticulous approach to details and careful attention to lighting and acoustics create an extremely efficient spacious, column-free open gallery where natural light coming from the shed roof shed prevails. Relying on the brilliance of its polychromatic ceramic façade, the project strives to create a new identity for the city.

Located in Largo Isarco, south of the city center, the complex is the result of the transformation and expansion of an old early twentieth century distillery which represents an important and innovative urban redevelopment of a large area, developed on a total area of 19,000 sqm. The project consists of two dimensions: the conservation work and the conception of new architecture which, while remaining distinct, contrast in a process of continuous interaction. Variety can be appreciated by the constant dialogue between old and new, horizontal and vertical lines, large dimensions and smaller spaces, open and closed environments. The project consists of seven existing buildings and three new structures: the Museum, a space for temporary exhibitions; the Cinema, a multimedia auditorium; and the Tower, a permanent exhibition space of ten floors. The new building provides a total of 2,000 m2 of indoor exhibition space across six levels, as well as a restaurant, a bar and a 160 m2 panoramic terrace. The 60-meter high Tower is realized in exposed white concrete. The new building provides a series of different exhibition conditions that together, with the other buildings, define the architectural vision of the foundation. The clear height of the ceilings increases from bottom to top, varying from 2,7 meters on the first floor to 8 metres on the last. The external façades are characterized by an alternation of concrete and glass surfaces, which allows exposure from a northern, eastern or western side on the different floors, whereas the top gallery space is exposed to indirect light.
