Detail
Ferrari Centro Sviluppo Prodotto

In the middle of the building, a precisely ordered rectangular bamboo forest filters light and reflects it in a thousand different directions.

The alchemy of these elements creates a micro-climate which is a perfect example of bio-climatic architecture.

Live Project

The building hosts the offices of the Ferrari Product Development Centre. The project is born out of the desire to bring in the natural environment into this highly technological complex in order to create a comfortable working ambiance.

Light, water and bamboo are used in such a way that building becomes landscape. This project represents the development of a new poetic of lightness.

The overall image is dominated by an overhanging volume, detached from the rest of the building and suspended above the surface of the water, which covers the lower volume, extending outwards over the entrance area by 7 meters. Brightly light crystal boxes and the minimum necessary structure the only phisical connections between two meeting rooms, marked by their respective colors, i.e. red and yellow. Water and light are the kinetic elements of the building, designating space with reflections that give the impression of a precious metal container to upper volume.
