The new Angelini headquarters

The project by Studio Transit called for adaptation and renewal of the original headquarters of Gruppo Angelini through demolition and reconstruction, leading to the creation of a new office complex. The design approach is organic and conservative, in keeping with the client’s desire to reinforce a bond between the building and the city (Angelini’s presence in this zone of Rome dates back to after World War II).

The image of the construction has remained intact: the original modules, with their characteristic L-shaped form, have been repeated – completing the lot on all three streetfronts. The whole organism is joined together by a raised platform that expands over the rest of the building, generating an expressive rise that incorporates and individuates the single parts in a contemporary architectural logic. This ‘bridge’ contains the executive offices, making a functional connection for the four operative blocks and completing the perimeter of the lot.
