Laurentina Business Centre

Architecture and context.

The building is located in a commercial area, just a few steps from Laurentina metro station. It is adjacent both to the Eur district and to one of Rome's largest shopping centres.

The building was ambitiously redesigned in 2017, a project which involved both the exterior and the interiors. External works included the creation of a frame surrounding the entire building, with the dual purpose of hiding the fire escape stairs and protecting the top floor from solar radiation and bad weather. As for the interiors, the extensive redesign involved the internal layout of the offices, where some of the most advanced technological systems were installed, including home automation, placing the building at the forefront of energy efficiency.

The building has a reinforced concrete structure, while the external finish consists of a continuous glass façade and rectangular frosted glass pilaster strips, horizontal as well as vertical, rhythmically repeated to hide floors and pillars.

The building comprises eleven floors, two of which are underground floors for car parks. The reception and refreshment areas are on the ground floor; there are seven floors for offices with spacious and bright open-space layouts, while the top floor is for top management and enjoys access to two large terraces overlooking the Eur district.

Two large entrance portals on the ground floor mark the building's main access points for external visitors and employees. In the central section of the building, two revolving doors lead to the reception, framed by a LED wall depicting images relating to the automotive sector, the industry in which the current tenant operates.
