It was this view, together with the tranquility of a residential neighborhood, that convinced the two young owners to move away from the chaotic old town where they lived. The state of the places presented itself with a rather binding distribution system; a supporting wall separated the small rectangular hall from the rest of the house, a spiral staircase was positioned almost in the middle of the entrance and on a long and narrow corridor all the other rooms of the house overlooked.A classic vintage apartment.

Engie Headquarters in Milan, Italy by Park AssociatiThursday, January 10th, 2019Article source: Park Associati The project proposes a complete renovation of a poor architectural quality building from the beginning of the ‘80s, outdated in terms of energy and distribution. The refurbishment converts the building into a contemporary property suited to the developing surrounding area of Bicocca district. Rather than implementing a restyling process, the building’s architecture was re-thought from scratch and the proportions and shapes of the massive volumes of the original building have been altered to achieve a much lighter and articulated configuration. The proportioning of the building’s volumes also allowed to create new large terraces on the rooftop further connecting ENGIE HQ with its surroundings: staring at the “artificial” skyline of downtown Milan, and at the Alps.

ZOMBY BLUE Live Club in Milan, Italy by Fabio GianoliMonday, January 7th, 2019Article source: Fabio Gianoli It seems like an era has passed since I met the client. It was 2014, a peculiar year during which Robin Williams left us, Germany won the football World Cup and we Italians found out that there is a great woman amongst us: Samanta Cristoforetti, the first Italian woman to take part in the international space station, an epic challenge. So many details were missing to our adventure, though. The location and the name for this new haunt were still missing. But I met a man, Rodolfo, a man with a concept, an entrepeneur, a little bit of a dreamer, with an important and new idea that needed a perfect sartorial dress.  Image Courtesy © Fabio Gianoli
