Stephenson Business Hotel

The project for the refurbishment of the façade of a well-known hotel located in the north-west of Milan was carried out in collaboration with Sipam, a company operating in the field of curtain walls.

This area and the areas immediately adjacent to it were destined to become one of the most important and representative in the city, thanks to development plans that have been fully implemented over the years.

The concept developed three themes:

1. Visibility (refurbishment of the façade)
2. Efficiency (design of the typical room module)
3. Liveability (design of the “green oasis” basement)

The designed façade module, whose dimensions are derived from the standard room, has the characteristic of being easy to build and assemble. Each module, pre-assembled by the manufacturer and repeated randomly, has a different depth to give movement to the regular shape of the tower building. This movement gives the façade a vibrant and dynamic effect.

The module

The modular elements allow you to create an effect of continuity with the outside while increasing the efficiency of the interior spaces.
