Casa Moncler, the new headquarters of the brand, reinterprets contemporary industrial architecture by evoking the morphology and materiality of the site’s original manufacturing context, transforming these references into an architectural language that is both essential and sophisticated.
The project takes the form of a complex distributed across six above-ground floors and two basement levels. Designed to accommodate over 700 employees, the building offers highly flexible workspaces and advanced environmental performance, establishing a dialogue with the site’s historical legacy.
The building envelope, inspired by historic multi-story manufacturing facilities, presents itself externally as a solid, compact volume that, opening inward, dissolves into a large, glazed courtyard. This introspective configuration creates a seamless visual and perceptual continuity between the workspaces and the building’s green heart.
The historic chimney has been repurposed as a passive device for capturing external air, drawn in from a height of 60 meters and distributed within a bioclimatic greenhouse—a transitional space that serves as a buffer between indoors and outdoors.
This walkable environment hosts three distinct ecosystems with plant species selected for their resilience and adaptability to local climatic conditions. Together, the bioclimatic greenhouse and the external green area form an integrated ecological system that contributes to microclimate regulation and strengthens the dialogue between architecture and nature.
