Barreca&LaVarra

Gianandrea Barreca and Giovanni La Varra founded their studio Barreca & La Varra in 2008 and before that, since 1999, were partners at Boeri Studio (with Stefano Boeri).

The social housing project in Seregno (Milan), the new headquarters for the RCS Mediagroup in Milan and the 307 building at Milano-Bicocca for Pirelli RE are some of the projects that have helped to establish the firm.
Barreca & La Varra are in charge of the executive and construction aspects of several projects started with Stefano Boeri such as Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) for Hines in Milan, The Villa, the Centre Regionale de la Mediterranee for the region PACA in Marseille and the renovation of the Maggiore Policlinico Hospital in Milan. At the same time they have developed other projects designed by their firm such as the European Centre for Advanced Biomedical Research in Milan on behalf of the Fondazione Cerba and the offices of the RSA – Royal Sun Alliance in Genoa.
