The aim of the project is the redevelopment of a complex of office buildings, originally constructed in 1929 as the industrial headquarters of the Brandy Stock ’84 distillery, through an interior design intervention capable of enhancing its historic identity and reinterpreting it in a contemporary key.

The project was developed following a strategic approach based on three key concepts: reconnecting the site with the surrounding neighborhood, renewing the existing building to create an iconic workplace, and redesigning the spaces in line with the principles of contemporary work.

The interiors and design intervention, curated by interior designers and an interior design studio, is based on an integrated work model, with flexible, shared, and multifunctional areas alternating with single or double workstations, able to adapt to new organizational and operational needs.

Il complesso è composto da tre edifici oggetto di una riprogettazione della distribuzione interna e degli arredi, con la sostituzione di finestre e porte e il mantenimento quasi integrale di facciate e coperture, tutelate dai vincoli paesaggistici.

The project also included the functional expansion of executive areas through the recovery of the internal courtyard, transformed into a new glass-structured reception area; the relocation of the main entrance toward the double-height internal garden; the introduction of new elevators; and the repurposing of the fourth floor with large glazed surfaces and horizontal skylights.

Finally, the roof was transformed into a panoramic terrace for corporate events and internal meetings, while a coordinated interior design and branding project strengthened the visual identity of the spaces, applying principles typical of home interior design to contemporary work environments.
