A subtle interplay of orthogonal geometries: the warp – the load-bearing vertical structure – and the weft – the terracotta and glass curtain walls – create effects of lightness and transparency.
The interior of the building combines technical sobriety with attractive aesthetics.
The comfort of working environments is ensured by flanking the normal air conditioning system with natural ventilation created by the lantern-lucernarium placed in the center of the building around which all interior spaces revolve.
Headquarter Tessiture Di Nosate E San Giorgio, Santo Stefano Ticino (MI)
