The building built along the highway is eye-cathing. The profile of the structure lets people easily understand the ideas of architecture behind it. The front of the building made with stones is just a part behind which there is the whole project proposal to discover. The fascination of the indoor spaces, the relationship between solids and voids,lights and shadows, nature and artifice and the elegant linearity give expressiveness to the spaces created and the shape of the empty space reminds the work in quarry, heart of the history of the brand. A precise, simple and at the same time rich project in which size, elegance and quality of the spaces are very important.

The project considers the “suspension” as a fascinating element. In other words the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, water and stones, trasparency and buildings and the interaction among all the elements creates an incredible charm. The building seems to be suspended on the stage created by embankments. This emphasizes the separation from the ground through the organization of the spaces and the paths accentuated by stretches of water that connect the reception and the hall surrounded by transparent crystal walls. On the other side, the architectural structures, the offices and the square are surrounded by walls.

The strong reminder to the historical activity tipical of the geographical area characterises a careful creative process that makes the highway the main means of communication. Driving along the highway you can have a look to the landmarks of the territory and even if you are driving fast the building created can be seen anyway asit is eye-catching. The front of the building and its composition and appearance remind the process of working stone.
The movement of the overhead travelling crane emphasizes the static blocks and suggest an experienceof a strong emotional impact both for the visitor-client and the traveller-observer.
