The building is located at Viale Cassala 22 in Milan, in an urban area close to the railway where managerial, residential and commercial activities coexist. The project includes a series of interventions aimed at renewing the interior and exterior aspects of the property, while still maintaining its use as offices.
The project includes the restoration of the building skin, the construction of a volume extension at the rear of the existing building of 862.59 sq. m. SLP, and the general renovation of the electrical and mechanical systems, as well as several interior renovations, such as the construction of a new entrance lobby on the ground floor, which provides internal access to the six levels of offices.
The existing façade, consisting of ribbon windows and exterior metal cladding, will be replaced by a new skin designed with a constant vertical pitch of 120 cm to match the existing structural mesh.
The main facade on Cassala Avenue will be made entirely of glass, with large transparent surfaces and opaque glass parapets. The “short” facades will have traditional opaque cladding with the inclusion of window bands at the corners. The south facade will feature ventilated metal cladding with Alucobond panels.
The renovated project includes a volumetric extension on Via Tosi, calibrated and proportionate to the existing building. As part of a general reorganization of space and usability, a new entrance will be built to facilitate access to the offices and a renovated covered access from Cassala Avenue to the entrance hall.
The project involvesthe application of the LEED protocol in order to achieve maximum environmental sustainability goals.
