Redesign for Everyone’s Enjoyment
A newly designed podium will be erected beside the tower, forming an open piazza directly connected to Corso Como and the Porta Nuova district. Every aspect of the tower has been completely redesigned, including a full recladding of the façade. Moreover, the podium acts as an ideal gateway to the tower, repurposed as a meeting place and pedestrian area for all to enjoy.
Deerns Solutions
Deerns brought an array of design solutions to this project, from sustainability, well-being and innovation through to revamping the existing structure. Since the building was already in situ, Deerns had hard-wired constraints to deal with, including elevator positioning, geometry and distances from other buildings. The firm sought to maximise the use of renewables to account for up to 65% of domestic hot water, heating and air conditioning.
