0347_U3 Building
Milan, Italy
The building is part of the “Milanofiori Nord” project, whose master plan was approved by the Municipality of Assago in 2005. U3 building has a surface area of approximately 11,000 square meters and comprises nine floors above the existing elevated square and two floors below for parking.
As proposed in the original design – volumetric distribution – the building maintains the height of the adjacent buildings, while taking an unobstructed slope into the site to continue the visual effect of open-closed visual cones and the full-empty scan that already characterizes the existing building.
The building appears as a transparent volume, enclosed between two light wings: from the motorway, the facade is narrow and high; at the back, it faces the green area, while from the front it opens onto terraces and is designed to enjoy views of the park, the green heart of the Milanofiori Nord building.
The north and south facades, on the other hand, determine the image of the building, which is characterized by a particular and lively effect produced by the refraction of light on the differently oriented sunshades made of white silk-screen printed glass.
The south façade, in particular, appears to be suspended, revealing the transparent rectangular volume that reinforces the relationship between inside and outside. The reception area, as the focal point of access, is visually positioned by the frame of two opaque wings.
The building meets the green building criteria for LEED GOLD certification.
