The building is positioned parallel to the main street in front so to align with the context grid of the city and along the north side to avoid shading on the site.

In this way the building creates a basement where are placed a parking area for the cars, a conference area and a restaurant and a vertical block for the offices.

The façade is pushed inwards creating an articulated “zig-zag” surface for the balconies on the south side and to have no south oriented glass façade to obtain a controlled indirect illumination for the interior spaces of the offices.

From a geometric point of view the building is treated with contrast colors for the vertical and the horizontal surfaces to create a different perception from different points of view.  Image Courtesy © Paolo Venturella Architecture The geometry varies parametrically to accommodate different functions and its colors makes it look as a gradient from the top to the bottom creating a unique “gradient-design” made up of pixels. The building rotates itself and merges with the park creating suitable interior and exterior spaces at the same time with a single move.
