The building is located on the border between the historic urban fabric of Milan and the contemporary new developments of the business district. It is located in a hinge point between the new and the traditional, between the future and the past. We imagined a tower able to dialogue with the different souls of the city. The South facade opens towards the centre of Milan with long open terraces where the green luxuriant brings nature into each of the 18th office floors.
The building is part of its ecosystem and becomes an active and positive element of it:
The Roots - the building emerges from the earth and from it draws its nutrients through
the use of geothermal sources and an efficient system of rainwater collection.
The Bark - its skin is strong but breathable, it protects the building but also lets the light
through thanks to its photovoltaic to photocatalytic lamellas.
The Canopy - a proper “waterfall” of vegetation connects the city with the sky, generates
oxygen, filters light and promotes the well-being of those who work there.
