The project involved t.he redevelopment of the property located at Piazzetta Bossi 3, Milan, owned by "Generali Real Estate S.p.A. – Fondo Mascagni"

The renovation works covered the basement levels, above-ground floors, roof, outdoor areas (courtyard and portico), as well as all vertical connections such as staircases and technical rooms.

The façade restyling aimed primarily to correct certain architectural elements introduced over the years, which over time had shown aesthetic and qualitative decline and were no longer suitable for the context.

Key elements of the redevelopment:

  • Redefining the relationship between the building and the adjacent public space
  • Enhancing the architectural language by modernizing the façade system while respecting the existing structure
  • Removing elements inconsistent with the building’s character
  • Creating a usable rooftop with new volumes
  • Improving energy efficiency through the complete refurbishment of the façade cladding

The planned interventions on the building aimed to:

  • Renovate the interior spaces, particularly by creating open-plan areas
  • Enhance the building’s main entrance hall
  • Ensure compliance with fire safety regulations
  • Upgrade the existing façades by replacing current windows and curtain walls with newly designed elements
  • Enhance the existing terraces for office use

In terms of energy efficiency, the shared objectives were to:

  • Enable a multitenant configuration, with subdivision by individual floor
  • Improve energy performance
  • Allow for maximum flexibility of the mechanical systems to accommodate various interior architectural layouts
  • Ensure optimal hygiene and indoor air quality by supplying primary air, filtered in advance and calibrated to the number of occupants

 

The building is LEED GOLD certified.
