OFFICE FBI, MILAN – ITALY, 2019

THE PROJECT INVOLVES THE TRANSFORMATION OF AN OLD LABORATORY LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN CENTRAL AREA OF MILAN INTO A NEW ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO.
THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE SPATIAL DEFINITION OF THE THREE AREAS – A LARGE WORK ROOM, A MEETING  ROOM AND LIBRARY ROOM – AND ON THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THE SEVERAL ROOMS ESTABLISH BETWEEN THEM AND WITH THE EXTERIOR.
THE REDEFINITION OF THE THREE LARGE OPENINGS IN THE LOAD-BEARING WALL RELATES WITH THE NEW ‘WING’ ON THE WALL TOWARDS THE STREET, WHICH BALANCES THE SPATIAL CONDITION INSIDE THE LARGE WORK ROOM.

THE ANOMALOUS TRACING IF THE NEW WALLS IN DIALOGUE WITH THE BUILDING LOAD-BEARING AND FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS DEFINE A MORE PRECISE AND ARTICULATED SPATIAL CONDITION. 

EACH NEW SPACE HAS ITS OWN AUTONOMY ALTHOUGH STILL BELONGING TO A CONTINUOUS SYSTEM.
