The current planimetric distribution is characterized by the lack of hierarchy of spaces and paths, this implies a great difficulty in orienting oneself and in reaching the different functional areas; the connecting spaces do not present any spatial quality, but represent “voids” without characteristics.

The renovation, through a general rearrangement of the areas and thanks to a balanced alternation between full and empty spaces, it is proposed to use the space in a pragmatic and at the same time creative way.

A redevelopment and functionalization intervention that makes the "office" a dynamic, flexible organizational model, reflecting the organization of the spaces, the organization of work, by virtue of the fact that the workplace is crucial for stimulating the ideas of individuals and enhance the innovative capabilities of a group's network of relationships.

The project idea plays on the “box in the box” theme. The areas identified by the programmatic document have been declined in space as independent and connected with the surroundings. The formal choices, therefore, were oriented to articulate the environments and express flows, spatiality and dynamism; at the same time the need for “confined” work spaces is met.
The intervention is stitched up through a central area characterized by material and height with respect to the surroundings, with the task of giving importance to the headquarters and creating a flexible space capable of responding in various ways to the needs of work and users.
The intervention is also characterized by the great attention to the theme of sustainability through the use of energy saving systems, environmentally friendly materials and careful waste management.

From the functional point of view, the layout develops according to a horseshoe shape where the office areas and an internal band are located, the "heart of the project", formed by a covered and visual patio placed in continuity with an open space area where the front offices of Isaq Consulting, Fiscale and Lavoro, the Tradecom space and a user service space called “Nuovi Modi” where, thanks to the use of technology, users will be able to find a first listening point.

The realization of the central patio allows to solve one of the biggest problems encountered, the lack of natural light in the innermost part of the plant and at the same time to create a place with a strong identity, capable of characterizing the new internal spaces of the Confcommercio headquarters.

In the area with the least amount of natural light, the toilets are located, which respect the current position to facilitate work on the systems and areas that have less need for natural lighting.
