New Office Building Carbonera / Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli

closed

Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli's philosophy manifests in a building that's both a functional workspace and a living artwork. This flexible design evolves with its surroundings, recalibrating positive impact and redefining the hybrid office space for community life.The ground floor serves as a multipurpose area for meetings, exhibitions, and other events, while the upper floors house adaptable office spaces. Mobile walls and modular elements allow for quick reconfiguration of meeting areas, while glass and fabric devices serve as visual and acoustic dividers, to help redefine the large open spaces. The design includes secluded spots for private calls and quiet work, blending with the open exhibition spaces. A modular desk and shelving system allows for customizable privacy levels, providing alcoves for working, discussing ideas, sitting, and, most importantly, socializing. A neatly arranged mechanical system, hidden behind a modular metal grille, brings industrial contemporary dynamism. The layout's flexibility supports various work styles and fulfills individual employee needs, while also enabling organizations to adjust to changes in the market or workforce quickly.A far cry from the typical industrial subdivision, the building offers a unique gathering spot on its rooftop, which doubles as a plaza for relaxation and mingling. This area, enhanced by artist Lorenzo Mason's work, becomes a platform for expression beyond the usual office boundaries.The design by Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli revolutionizes the traditional workplace to embrace remote working and digitalization, prioritizing a sustainable balance between work and personal life. The offices are dynamic, flexible, and designed for adaptation, fostering informal, homely spaces. A new anthropocentric venue, full of sharing environments, open-air activity areas and seamless indoor and outdoor spaces. "Our projects are invitations to innovate and explore.
