Rising to New Heights in Digital Innovation
A crystal set between buildings, Luxottica HQ is delimited by a courtyard and garden. The building’s shape adapts to the curve of its exterior surface in a design that reflects both of the environments that it faces. A double envelope strikes a delicate balance of light, reflection and transparency, technology and formal simplicity, all maximised by the “lens” effect of the envelope’s curvature.
Deerns Solutions
The building’s monolithic façades, unique shape and distinct height posed substantial challenges to Deerns’ teams, which also managed design of the MEP systems, acoustics design, specialist systems construction management, LEED consultancy and energy certification. Additionally, Deerns provided consultancy services for revising the final project and executive design, and assistance during the façade tender phase.
