The renovation involves the complete recladding of the anonymous factory, the need for the building to manifest the company and the relationship with the local area, and invite us to consider it as a single great element that embodies the image, history, innovation, and research of a leading international company. The undulating elements in the design were developed by focusing on the company product, whose innovation allows for the production of polycarbonate extrusions, resistant and flexible, virtually endless.

The use of parametric modeling has allowed for the creation of an iconic building where the simplicity of assembly and standardization of the elements strive to create a form that is never banal. The chosen design allows the new structure to offer ever-changing points of view, but at the same time its construction does not include any unique piece, succeeding in the difficult task of combining a refined and elegant design with simple and concrete construction.

The endless process of polycarbonate extrusions and its lightness are the elements that mainly define project and that have inspired the overall design idea. The bands that derive from the extrusions can be applied on the roof, façades, as a solar shield, and thus represent all their possible applications and the great intrinsic potential of polycarbonate.
