ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
They are present on the first floor , fully adapted to receive the company ’ s office , and both outside and inside the property its envelope is made of pine wood . Metal beams embedded in the slab support the floor of the spare volumes which , furnished with fixed seats , are spaces for socializing and contemplative nature , and whose playful character communicates the informality that characterizes the project . In the corner of the house , located in the corner , the sofa and the window have an L-shaped design .
There is plenty of natural lighting in the interiors , made possible both by the redesign of the windows and by the distribution of light through the cracks in the new metal staircase ( perforated sheet metal floor and rebar railing ), inserted at the back of the building . Also the upper floor , designed to accommodate different meeting areas - some compartmentalized others of the open space type - and the events area , is surrounded by glazed facades which , set back in plan , are flanked by planters with dense landscaping .
The ground floor , where there is a café , kitchen and spaces for innovation / product development , is equipped with a kitchen prepared for courses . The back patio is visible through the large window in the hall and the coexistence of materials and elements - new and old - echoes the visual language of the project as a whole .
