“Today, we can serenely affirm (…) that the goal to conciliate a respect for the continuity of Italian architecture with a pondered internationalism, has met with success.”

Filippo Pagliani and Michele Rossi in conversation with Andrea Carloni and Carlotta Ferrati talk about their approach to the design of work spaces, the role of the competitions and the activities dedicated in the studio to research, innovation and to the dialogue with the creative cultures of Milan and on international basis.

“The recovery and enhancement of historical or modern buildings has led designers to pay increased attention to the aspect of lighting design, right up to making  it become a theme of the architectural intervention. Therefore, lighting is no longer solely a decorative element.”

“The design poetics observes an approach to renovation oriented towards mutation rather than permanence, determining  a process of metamorphosis of the existing”.

“Park Associati’s renovation project for La Serenissima gives the building anew character, to be understood as a tribute to the work of the Soncini brothers”.

What does it mean to be an architect? “Always be in equilibrium between dream and reality. Have the capacity for synthesis and to resist the temptation to say too much in a single project.”

The whole building is used to communicate, or the spaces, as a large environmental media. We construct the communication concept and apply it on the different supports along the paths inside the building.

“Tenoha is an innovative concept store that reminds the atmosphere of new spaces with multiple identities, typical of new Tokyo style. Park Associati’s project has respected the industrial soul of the place through an essential design, in perfect japanese-milanese style ”

“The house belongs to those who experience it in terms of taste and there is a risk of misunderstanding, when the choices do not agree with the technical project.

Tenoha Milano brings a taste of Japan to Italy with its inviting mixed-use space that fuses retail, hos­pitality and co-work spaces in an industrial setting Park Associati envisioned a design that allowed crossovers between the different domains while respecting the build­ing’s industrial soul.

“An important aspect of the operation is improvement of energy performance of the building, which has reached from the E Class Class A3.

The place where you work, for our profession, is not indifferent.

The new Salewa Headquarters is the intersection of several environment dimensions of the environment in which we live: physical, social and communicative dimensions, ways of living work and leisure.

This is one of the few metal structures of italian architecture in recent years. Unlike the predominantly cementitious tradition that characterizes the Italian post-war architecture, the Soncini specialize in this construction technique and adopt it in a refined way. Luka Skansi

Interview to the architects and restyling of La Serenissima Office Building featured on Dezeen

The refurbishment of La Serenissima Office Building: continuation of the original quality, reservation of the architectural features.

Our work is the synthesis of two visions. Projects are born not only from the union of two different approaches but from the sum of participated processes. Every design idea is shared and is the result of our common work.   Filippo Pagliani – Michele Rossi

One of our sources of inspiration is the Italian postwar architecture, from the 50s onwards, which is becoming a reference point, even abroad, of world architectural culture. In that period it was planned and built with an extraordinary awareness. Filippo Pagliani

This building can, in a sense, be considered a unique work, resulting from an active and conditioning process of selection by the client, extending from the choice of place, to the architects and to the professionals, managers and all the technicians, that led to the final definition of the complex functional machine. Luka Skansi

The notion of the nomadic object, delocalised and stateless, indifferent therefore to climatic conditions and even to solar exposition, conditions substantial aspects of the construction.
