Palazzo Broggi in Milan is currently under construction

The construction site of the former Unicredit complex in Milan, also called “Palazzo Broggi” and located close to the Duomo, is officially open. Piuarch’s project to redevelop this large complex has the goal of LEED Gold certification and is based on a study on the theme of lightness: lightness as a design approach in contrast to the monumentality of the old building; lightness as a way of opening up to the cityscape; lightness as a means of integrating into the greenery of the hanging gardens placed inside a very densely built-up block. The project therefore creates a contrast between the historical facades, subject to environmental constraints, and the three inner courtyards, entirely made of glass and enhanced by hanging planters that create another façade, covering the glazed one. The building provides 20,000 sqm new office spaces with two separate lobbies and about 15,000 sqm of retail spaces. The site construction will probably be completed by 2020.
