The studies of architecture Modostudio and Sofia Cattinari Studio have associated to raise the new INTECS SPA headquarters in an industrial area well located to the east of Rome.
A building with a compact and round façade, which keep some kind of similarity with the well-known and praised Dutch Embassy in Berlin by Rem Koolhaas built in 2003, is perforated by a central courtyard and tour parallel to the façade for the stairs that connect all the plants, emphasizes for a façade that it alternates reflexive panels of steel and glass, producing a rhythmic effect of great beauty that allows simultaneously to be fused by the environment and to lodge the systems of home automated facilities that have allowed him to obtain a certificate Casaclima of class A.
Description of project by Modostudio + Soffia Cattinari Studio.
The project is located in a major and well connected industrial area finalized to the advanced research production, located on the east side of town. The building is a clear and compact volume, with an interesting relationship with its context.
Thanks to the special facade system, which consists of alternating reflective steel panels and glass panels, the building seems to dematerialize, blending with the surrounding environment. The reflective steel panels are characterized by different depths depending on their position, assuring always different visual effects depending on the side from which the building is enjoyed. The facade effect guarantees a strong dynamism to the building itself.
The building is composed of a series of floors, connected with each other continuously through connections clearly readable on the exterior facade. These connections create stairs, terraces or slopes, hosting conference rooms or outdoor auditorium, providing a functional layout extremely varied and flexible.
Both the building envelope that its mechanical installations, entrusted to the home automation technology, will be extremely technological and performance, ensuring to the building the A energy class in Casaclima certification.
