With Bernina 7, a new destination for future-oriented workplaces is emerging in Milan’s Scalo Farini district. Designed by Prisma, the project brings together sustainable architecture, flexible usage concepts and urban integration in an open, dynamic building. Generous glazed areas and a clearly defined “Open” concept foster collaboration and create interaction between people, the building and the city.

Bernina 7 plays a central role in the transformation of the former industrial site of Scalo Farini. The project translates the history of the site into a forward-looking concept that combines urban density, quality of life and sustainability. Open structures, the interplay of public and semi-public spaces, and generous green areas create an environment that integrates into its surroundings while introducing new impulses. In particular, the permeable ground floor strengthens the connection between building and urban space and activates the district. As part of the wider urban development, Bernina 7 acts as a catalyst for regeneration, setting new benchmarks for a vibrant, sustainable urban fabric.
Sustainability formed the foundation of the project from the outset. As a LEED Platinum-certified building, Bernina 7 meets the highest standards in energy efficiency and resource conservation. Large-scale glazing combined with an optimised façade design maximises daylight penetration and significantly reduces energy demand. This approach is complemented by generous green spaces that promote biodiversity while enhancing the quality of stay. The result is a holistic concept that unites environmental responsibility, efficiency and user comfort – reflected down to the choice of materials and systems.
The building envelope of Bernina 7 has been realised using customised Schüco system solutions that meet the highest standards in both aesthetics and performance. At ground floor level, the Schüco AOC 60 SG façade system enables large-format, virtually frameless glazing with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, contributing significantly to the building’s openness. A distinctive architectural highlight is the pleated façade on the upper floors. This bespoke solution is based on the Schüco FWS 60 SG and Schüco AWS 75 BS.HI+ systems. Through targeted refinement of individual components – including specially developed profiles and sealing solutions – the desired geometry was achieved without altering the proven system principles. To ensure maximum performance, the
Bernina 7 has been conceived as an open system that consciously engages with the city. Its architecture translates urban dynamics into a spatial framework that mediates between public and private realms, as well as transparency and structure.
At its core is the “Open” concept, expressed in four key dimensions:
The vertically articulated façade reflects the layered complexity of the city. Aluminium façades and metallic panels create a clear, contemporary language, while terraces and recesses structure the building volume and provide additional spaces for work and interaction.
