Münchener Rück

The project for the new offices of Münchener Rück Italia, which entailed the complete renovation of the historic Palazzo Bocconi in Milan while focusing on a conservative transformation of the building and its exterior spaces, was presented to the press. "The goal of the project - explained architect Massimo Roj, Managing Director of Progetto CMR and client leader of the renovation work - was to optimise the spaces for the new activities while respecting the original architectural solutions. The choice of materials was classic yet, at the same time, met the needs of the client. We sought, and definitely succeeded in, avoiding an ostentatious project in favour of giving attention to details that reflect the tradition and potential of Milanese artisans - stated Manfred zur Nedden, Managing Director of Münchener Rück Italia - The result is optimal spaces where one feels at ease and that have strong human values."
