The Satispay project is one of the latest challenges that our study has faced. The theme consisted in converting an obsolete 2500 sq m office building into offices serving a fast-growing start-up. The innovation concerns the arrangement of spaces, the management of paths and the social-oriented approach. Located in the central Milan area, in the Isola district, at the same distance between Central Station and Porta Garibaldi Station, the building is distributed in an articulated way, in 3 different buildings each on 3 floors above ground, with internal courtyards and several cavedi that were part of the project and transformed into real gardens.

The definition of the program, i.e. the collection and consequent translation into layout of all needs, was the starting point of the project. Several meetings were held with company managers in order to identify the needs that have turned into the proposed distribution. Although the project is intended for tertiary / managerial purposes, it contains residential features, including the presence of a lot of vegetation also inside, wooden elements and materials with tactile and sensorial characteristics. The intention was to create a SATISPAY HOME, which would create an environment as social and convivial as possible. The flooring is completely in helicopter concrete, and there are portions of vertical partitions in polycarbonate that dematerialize some volumes of the environment through their milky appearance.

The Marketing area is arranged in the portion of the building with double height and metal trusses. That area is the central core of the entire HQ from which the paths for the Social Area, the Podcast Area, the gardens, and the upper floors are developed. In the portion of the building on Via Porro Lambertenghi, on the ground floor, there is the Conference and General Update area, while the two upper floors are intended for the IT area where all the intelligence of the scale-up is developed. A connecting walkway was built between that portion and the other areas of the buildings.
