StudioScalzi has moved to a new office in Milan, marking a new chapter for the expanding architectural practice. The new location is still in the heart of the city, situated along the old canals of Navigli area. The project named 'GolaLab' has transformed 180 sqm of a former semi-basement laboratory, previously used as a Hare Krishna temple, into a new open-space headquarters for the design firm. A light staircase connects the renovated working area to the existing designer’s house, situated at the upper floor, and to its garden.
The purpose of this project is to create a new hub of international creative people in the heart of italian design environment.
The existing heating system hung from the ceiling, painted now with a bright red, becomes a unique characteristic of space: along these endless pipes now run everywhere channels of led lights. The result is a perfect marriage of old and new.
The first intervention of StudioScalzi was to illuminate the entire area with a strong, clean, light color thus creating a modern effect and giving a sense of spaciousness. This interior appears stylish and sophisticated. It has a natural and vibrant feeling, with a monochromatic palette which ambraces rustic features of the original heritage lab.
