Turin Outlet Village | Claudio Silvestrin

The apparent simplicity of this project is actually the result of visual clarity, freedom of movement, open perspectives, visual order.

The assertive horizontality of the outlet makes it visually modern, as well as classic and elegant in configuration and proportions. The building is covered with ancient and natural materials: natural stone and lime plaster.

The shopping promenade is 290 m long with ceilings reaching 6 m in height. It is flanked by a porch that extends to infinity and is adorned with a regular trail of trees, an invitation to be outdoors. The long façade faces the highway and is hidden by new bushes and trees.

From behind the trees an independent 88 m spire rises like a metaphorical bridge between the sky and the earth and as an iconic landmark that connects the surrounding territory. The symbolic spire seems to pierce the sky, dissipating its cosmic energy on the earth.

It has a delicate structure and its remarkable design, although anchoring the tower firmly to the ground, makes it rise in the sky with exceptional lightness. The spire is a door of the Fashion Village and, at the same time, stands as a gate and an icon of the city.
