Futuristic cube enveloped in metal

The new headquarters for the electric motor manufacturer Bonfiglioli combines extravagant design with functional efficiency. Designed by Peter Pichler Architecture, the monolithic newbuild creates a comfortable work environment thanks to intelligent geometry and optimal use of daylight. The central inner courtyard complete with a garden of greenery improves natural ventilation and, at the same time, a continuously pleated, customised aluminium mesh envelopes the façade, filters light and saves energy.
