Historic architecture reimagined in its interiors. Not only for us Milanese, it remains an iconic space that never ages; it has even been used by fashion companies for runway shows.
Palazzo Mondadori in Milan, built between 1968 and 1975, is a prime example of Niemeyer’s signature style. Recently renovated by Carlo Ratti Associati, the renovation focused on the 20,000 square feet of office space.
The main structure is a distinctive suspended glass box supported by parabolic arches, giving the impression of floating over an artificial lake designed by landscape architect Pietro Porcinai.
The redesigned interior includes desks that encourage informal interaction on all five floors. New transparent meeting rooms create a sense of continuity, allowing for free movement and connection to the natural environment. The furniture layout is designed to maximize natural light, further enhancing the beauty of the building and the connection to the park.
This renovation represents an exploration of forward-thinking workplace design, with an emphasis on fostering meaningful connections between people through its vertical urbanism and integration of green spaces.
