The headquarter’s new structure develop in 3 levels: 2 eco-offices connected through a Forum covered by a “green hill”. The parking and the electronic systems are, instead, buried to have the widest surface for the park’s use.
The Forum is a multifunctional space and it is a meeting point. There are the reception, the truck stop and the new business restaurant, which is characterized by many different scenography and many furniture for using the space as also an area for meeting and reunions.
The eco-offices are bio-climatic, according to the “minimum, simple and green” energy strategy.
Formal and constructive choices reduce the maintenance, with the use of particular, durable and recyclable materials.

- The support to the engineering service.
- The supervision “in-site” for a DL specialized assistance and he was present also during the testings’ performances.

There are, moreover, special fixtures integrated to the climatic comfort system (free cooling) with the use of automated openings, which make the air circulate from the ground floor to the inclined covering roofs.
