The work environment is organized around 3 inner representative courts that light the new architecture the new workplaces in an original functional mix of traditional way of working and new parameters (lighting, air conditioning, acoustic).

In order to favour the natural ventilation, according to the orientation, the facade system is enriched by an external metal structure with diagonal sectors and different density aluminium sunblind. This structure is partially covering the green square above and is a support for vegetation.

The plan of the building is a traditional cross plan with corridors along the perimeter. The spatial distribution of the offices is regulated by a 6 meters by 6 meters weave. The office spaces and the workshops are distributed around the not regular courts, standardized but formally and spatially dynamic. In 5 corners created by such a distribution are located the meeting rooms and the common areas, acting as small “squares” interrupting the corridors and creating pleasant places for socialization.

The ”small city” is just below a pleasant green public square.
