The new Fitt Headquarter stands like an inn’s lantern in the foggy Venetian Plain, serving as a landmark in the surrounding country. The building is conceived as being mainly introverted and is comprised of two parallel blocks turning their backs to the adjacent industrial buildings and facing instead the green and calm courtyard. On top of those blocks, two semicircle-shaped elements find place, hosting representation spaces on the north and relax areas and residences on the south. The resulting form is a clear reference to the brand identity.
The inner space is developed as a continuous path and its structure and composition enable a highly flexible use, which is an important feature of the complex. The whole building is indeed comprised of modular
components whose functions can be easily changed over time. Entirely occupied by greenery, the new
headquarter tries to give back to nature the soil that takes it away.
On the main level there is a luxuriant garden, perfect for employees to spend their breaks or for new customers to be welcomed; on the roof level, the entire garden is dedicated to fitness and relax, a place where employees can carry out leisure activities at anytime.
The arena presents itself as the only breaking element within a geometrically well-defined structure and is
configured as a semicircle in which employees and visitors are completely surrounded by the vegetation.
The exterior cladding gives the project a modern and innovative look, as well as being an element that
energetically supports the entire complex. The ventilated facade, which gives a great thermal efficiency to the building, could be indeed made up of polycarbonate pipes produced directly on site. At the same time, large areas covered by lawns and shrubs also reduce CO2 production.
