Milan is being enriched by a new architectural gem: the "SYMBIOSIS" project by Covivio, a major real estate development located near the renowned Fondazione Prada. This is where the G+H building, also known as "Moncler," is located, and is set to become a landmark in the city's urban landscape.
The project is the result of a collaboration between Covivio, a leading French real estate developer that entered the Italian market with the acquisition of Beni Stabili Spa, a major player in the Italian real estate sector, and Moncler, a famous Italian fashion house, which will move its headquarters here upon completion.
The "Moncler" building is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, signed by the Milan-based firm ACPV | Antonio Citterio & Patricia Viel, founded in 2000. The firm is known for its ability to create buildings that harmonize functionality and aesthetics, as demonstrated by their most celebrated projects, including the renovation of the former De Sonnaz barracks for Reply's new headquarters and the new Gioia 20 office towers in the Porta Nuova district.
The facade of the building is one of the distinctive elements, formed by large mirrors that require special design and construction attention. These double-chamber glazings provide high levels of thermal insulation while having considerable weights of their own. This compromise is necessary to ensure maximum comfort for the building's occupants.
The "Moncler" building is also committed to environmental sustainability and occupant well-being. It is expected to achieve prestigious certifications such as LEED Platinum and Well Core, which attest to its commitment to energy efficiency and environmental comfort. In addition, the Well Health Safety rating will assure occupants that measures are in place to protect health and safety, meeting the current wellness needs of work spaces.
