Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Ab Medica in Milano, Italy by GIUSEPPE TORTATOMay 11th, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: GIUSEPPE TORTATO Inspired by the super fast boat hulls, the building’s volume expresses dynamism and innovation of a group at the forefront of research, in strict compliance with the energy class A. The project for the headquarters of AB Medica, an italian farmaceutical company, is developed and designed by architect Giuseppe Tortato. An appealing combination that reveals a landmark building with functional and symbolic aspects requested by the client and the will of demarcation and qualification of a suburban context flanked by the highway Milano-Varese.

The project is highly contemporary and aligned with the most advanced trends in energy saving (Class A) and psycho-phisical well-being standards required by an efficient workplace.  Image courtesy GIUSEPPE TORTATO The dimensions of speed and dynamics of the nearby highway are translated into an architecture that finds inspiration in the sophisticated and technologically advanced of super-fast boats world. The particular shape of the lot and highway constraints, lead the design to a triangular shape similar to a boat hull that slips between artificial hills that are functional to thermal and acoustic insulation of the whole area.

The volume carved at the base by large inclined baffles in concrete, which integrate the functions of insulation and energy saving, is freed on the first floor becoming an aereal and bright architectural element, defined by a plate fixed to the prefabricated building below, is structurally released.

The roof, is rotated according to the solar orientation in relation with the shape required of the ground floor and is provided with lugs that serve as solar shading. The by the triangular openings of the patios guarantee the comfort of natural light diffused to the entire the operational plan.

Through the exploitation of ground water for the climatisation with heat pumps, high efficiency is optimized thanks to the presence of an anti fire water reserve. In addition the ground water also feeds the irrigation system of the surrounding parkland.  Image courtesy GIUSEPPE TORTATO Natural lighting for the office space offices, in different seasonal conditions, is guaranteed by a proper orientation of the façades and a balanced use of the projections related to the almost all-glass walls. The use of glass is weighted in accordance with a high classification efficiency, while it remains an element of prestige and strongly characterizes the working environment.
