Regina Giovanna 27-29

Located in the heart of Milan, near Porta Venezia, the complex at Viale Regina Giovanna 27-29 spans approximately 21,000 sqm and will house high-end Grade A office spaces, featuring premium finishes and outstanding energy performance.

The design concept stems from the need to create a distinctive identity while redefining the entrance system: the new recessed access to the reception area, a double-height space along Viale Regina Giovanna with high visual permeability, serves as a unique and dramatic feature within the rhythmic pattern of the façade, uniformly treated with materials that reinterpret and renew the architectural language of the surrounding context while respecting the existing heritage.

On the upper floors, the reconfiguration of surfaces and ceiling heights maximizes the efficient use of interior spaces and natural light, enhancing floor efficiency and flexibility—essential elements in today’s evolving work environment, increasingly focused on “collaboration” and “smart” methodologies.

The building also embraces biophilic principles in the design of workspaces: spacious terraces extend the working areas, reconnecting individuals with the natural environment; the renovated courtyard, featuring two interconnected levels, serves as a true agora, a protected space fostering social interaction.

This commitment to well-being and sustainability is reflected in the building’s systems design: the property is LEED Platinum certified, the highest recognition for environmental and energy performance.

Our intervention mainly focused on creating a strong identity for the building, achieved through the use of materials that reinterpret and renew the architectural language of the context.

For the facade of number 29, we reinterpreted the existing facade module, redefining the material and color characteristics of the architectural elements. The new window and door frame system has improved sustainability, as well as technological and energy efficiency. The opaque surfaces of the new, adequately insulated ventilated facade are clad in stoneware with an Iseo stump effect, which echoes the base of number 27.

For the facade of number 27, the project involved the complete preservation of the architectural language elements. The plan included cleaning and restoring the stump cladding and the elements (portal and pillars) covered with green Alpine marble at the base. On the upper floors, both the pilasters and the string courses were clad in light-colored mosaic.

REGINA GIOVANNA Lifestyle offices

Architecture and space represent a cultural expression that influences relationships between people. Regina Giovanna offers expansive public spaces integrated into a simple, solid, and institutional architectural design. Designed with a human-centered approach, it was created to be an interconnected technological resource.

Spaces Designed for Connection

Our spaces are designed to bridge the gap between private offices and common areas, embodying the essence of contemporary design, architecture, innovation, and style. These elements reflect the identity and values of the modern enterprise.

Our internal courtyard, an outdoor oasis adjacent to the bright and airy offices of Regina Giovanna, offers a sheltered environment perfect for fostering interpersonal relationships. It is the vibrant heart of urban social interaction, promoting a strong sense of community.
