The building sits on the edge between Milan’s historic urban fabric and the contemporary developments of its business district. Positioned at a hinge point between the past and the future, it was conceived as a tower that could engage in dialogue with the city’s many identities. The south façade opens toward the center of Milan, with long terraces where lush greenery brings nature into each of the 18 office floors.
A Green Tower for Milan
From the start, the design aimed to leverage the triangular site while creating a generous southeast public space and minimizing the footprint. The resulting equilateral prism has two façades facing southeast and southwest, with the third oriented north.
To comply with urban regulations and maximize city-center views, the prism was sculpted with a parabolic cut. The base was lowered 4 meters to form an underground plaza and highlight the entrance lobby.
The southeast and southwest façades convey dynamism and growth, while the inner transparent façades are protected by vertical photocatalytic slats. The north façade remains linear and monolithic, expressing a simple, clear architectural language.
