The project focused on enhancing the value of a single, horizontal, single-storey structure. It involved the construction of offices where quality is provided by the exposure to internal courtyards and by choices inspired by material sustainability, high performance in terms of thermal-acoustic insulation and the comfort of the working environment, achieved through energy efficiency and controlled natural light.

The design of the 1,800 square metres of interior office space was based on two main guidelines: the quality of the workspaces and the collective atmosphere of the common areas. The vertical rhythm of the aluminium panels and window frames that make up the façades was at the heart of the architectural concept.

The building expresses its defining design concept in the interplay between opaque, rough fibre cement surfaces, which are harmonised with other surfaces that are pure, glazed, transparent and reflective. Together, they constantly transform and change their visual identity and impact in response to the incidence of light. The main façade, with its semi-reflective cladding and 'funnel' geometry tapering towards the entrance, leads the approaching visitor into the courtyard, where the interior spaces and environment are visible through the large, full-height transparent glass façades.

The project received LEED Platinum certification.
