The building is located at Viale Cassala 22 in Milan, in an urban context close to the railway, characterized by the presence of managerial, residential and commercial functions. The project is part of a process of urban regeneration and redevelopment and includes interventions aimed at the renovation of the interior and exterior aspects of the property, maintaining the intended use as office and workspace architecture.
The intervention includes the restoration and renovation of the building skin, the construction of a volume extension at the back of the existing building equal to 862.59 sq. m. of SLP, and the renovation of the electrical and mechanical systems.
Interior renovations are also planned, including a new entrance lobby on the ground floor designed to improve the usability of spaces and provide functional access to the six levels of offices.
The existing facade is replaced by a new architectural skin with a constant vertical pitch of 120 cm, in continuity with the existing structure. The main facade on Cassala Avenue will be made of glass, with transparent surfaces and opaque parapets, expressing a language of contemporary architecture and modern architecture. The side facades will feature opaque cladding with window bands at the corners, while the south facade will feature a metal ventilated facade with Alucobond panels.
The project also includes an extension on Via Tosi and a reorganization of indoor and outdoor spaces, with a new main entrance and a renovated covered access from Viale Cassala to the lobby, improving the overall quality of the working environment in line with the principles of architecture and sustainability and environmental sustainability.
