La Vela - Montacchiello
The building is located in Pisa, in the Montacchiello area, territory of expansion with a main vocation consisting of craft, production and commercial activities as well as services.
The position, located right at the crossroads between two main axes of the Montacchiello area, is strategic because it allows the building to stand out against the skyline of the horizon in a non-brutal and disharmonious way; on the contrary, the curvilinear and soft lines create effects of continuous changes in the vision of the building and lighten the shapes.
​
The curvature of the facades and the use of continuous facades in mirrored glass also camouflage and minimize the volumes. A further architectural characterization was achieved with the creation of a circular-like stairwell on the main facade to simulate a hinge element capable of giving autonomy to the two wings of the facade. The building extends for a total of 4500 square meters divided between the 6 floors above ground and the basement.
