Paul Tupper This bold new office building in Milan places sustainability at its core, and has been designed with an approach that seeks active and passive servicing solutions to minimise energy consumption whilst maximising the health and wellbeing of occupants. These revolve around the the creation of a highly-resilient, flexible and unique building that actively reduces demand and consumption of energy, considering the possibility of zero carbon in operation.
Located on a prominent site at the intersection of Holborn Viaduct and Farringdon Street, the thirteen-storey building will deliver a world class sustainable, adaptable, and healthy new workplace environment, capable of accommodating single or multiple tenancies. At the heart of the design approach is the understanding that human comfort and wellbeing are paramount to creating sustainable environments that enhance people’s health, foster creativity and spark innovation.
