GEZA ARCHITETTURA
Nature is a prominent element , not just because of its beauty ( Chianti hills ), but also because it creates a pleasant environment once blended into the building : patios , green coverings , and natural light contribute to a more sustainable working habitat , where people can also relax and enjoy contact with nature .
Finally , sustainability plays a key role in this project , which has been designed to comply with green energy best practices .
TECHNICAL SHEET
The morphology of the land is truly taken into consideration and is enhanced through three fundamental elements – the driveway , the terraces , and Piazza Furla – which define clear areas around the building volumes . Thanks to a system of patios and green roofs overlooking the wooded area , nature crosses the boundaries between inside and outside . The main entrance recalls the archetype of Tuscan villa access : a linear row of cypresses welcoming visitors and showing the way through . This rhythm is replicated on the facade of the buildings with sunscreen filtering blades .
The entrance to the offices , with the double-height reception and the large open-air hall , becomes the point where the boundaries between architecture and landscape merge . The interiors have been designed in such a way as to have real layout flexibility . The orderly sequence of offices is punctuated by green patios , or relationship spaces .
