In terms of architecture, the geometric shape of the building was rationalised by demolishing the mismatched volumes that had been added over time and its overall appearance was given a more contemporary style to better reflect the identity of the company.<\/p>\n
The facades have been treated as a kind of \u201cmanifesto\u201d for the use of porcelain stoneware in architecture: the main elevation features a large cornice clad with tiles measuring 60 x 120 cm as well as large areas of ventilated facade with tiles measuring 90 x 60 cm. Further down, to screen a series of service windows, a brise-soleil system in square-sectioned tubular steel has been applied, also clad in ceramic. On the south side the ceramic cladding is combined with a photo-voltaic facade in amorphous silicone while on the west a series of brise-soleils with a rectangular section (also clad in porcelain stoneware) are set into a regular lattice of projecting cornices.<\/p>\n
The project also included the reorganisation of the offices with a layout that responded more fully to the operative needs of the company and the modernisation of the spaces according to criteria of linearity, transparency and luminosity.<\/p>\n
The exterior space was also addressed with the addition of a large, paved pedestrian area that functions as an open-air exhibition space, a new metal fence onto the street and a new signage totem. Particular attention was also given to the design of dramatic outdoor lighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","project_cat":[55,47],"class_list":{"0":"entry","1":"project","2":"publish","3":"author-francesco","4":"post-1987","6":"project_cat-italy","7":"project_cat-office-industrial"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2854,"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1987\/revisions\/2854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marazziarchitetti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_cat?post=1987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
