Gillette once occupied four buildings in Milan and its surro areas. The project brief and analysis of the organis logic determined the space mode! and the choice to together the group's various business arms into a single location in the centre of the metropolis, fostering a uniform ima g harmonised identity.
The reception area features an ambience that is neutra! overall, yet embeliished by the use of metal and the pale and elegant essence of maple wood.
Approximately 20 square metres gross area per workstation in a surface area of 8, 000 square metres constitute the space planning parameters realised for the Gillette centre. The planning concepts used allowed a consistent and rational use of the space in such a way as to guarantee its flexibility of use into the future. The corporate image was emphasised above all on the ground floor in particular the entrane area where the group's brands, products and images are displayed.
