The new Milan headquarters of TUV Italia is spread over the tenth floor of the building called Whitemoon in the Bicocca district undergoing major transformation.
The new way of working remotely makes it possible to rethink office spaces, not only as work spaces but as meeting places where, as in a domestic environment, "public" and "private" environments can coexist.

Starting precisely from these assumptions, the project envisages a sort of path within the 1600 square meters of usable surface which intersperses open spaces where employees can reserve workstations from home, more reserved and closed spaces for the directors of each department, various sizes, a social area used for lunch&relaxation, a waiting lounge and an advanced reception, various stop and work areas for employees used to not stopping permanently in the office, a central nucleus in which lockers for employees and rest areas follow one another for informal work or for a simple phone call.

800 plants of 10 different species accompany each office space and together with rotating elements they become filters to hide or highlight the different functions of the working environment. This project also derives from our constant research of living in the office, of designing spaces not from the workstation but from sharing and meeting spaces. With this philosophy, the new TUV offices also want to demonstrate that in the era of smartworking, the office must look like a home and not vice versa.
