This is a stunning yet functional contemporary architecture designed for Tetra Pak, an expression of the international image of the company and of its commitment to quality and innovation.
A wall made of bricks in a gelosia* pattern encloses the perimeter of the project area on three sides. It leaves only the west side open where the connection with the Tetra Pak plant is situated. This wall is not a fence but part of the building: on the northern side the ellipse-shaped glass building penetrates the gelosia wall, blending tradition and modernity, which complete each other.
The garden is organized as a series of different functional, green, and water feature areas.
*Gelosia is a brick wall manufactured in such a way that light and air can cross it. This is a typical partition in the vernacular architecture of northern Italy.
