The New Central Offices
of Sun Microsystems Italia
Milan, Viale Fulvio Testi

September 2003

"These offices have been very well received on various levels due to the peculiarities of the pre-existing structure and the design solutions utilised. From the start, the offices demonstrated themselves to be adaptable to those who work there and set off a process of recognisability and appropriation that is surely very rare in work spaces and complexes of this size. It was the coordination of the various design aspects and the entire design process (from the feasibility study to the choice of the building, to the space planning, to the interior design, to the safety and the management) that made all of this possible. It certainly was not easy to get the various departments to agree and have the inevitably partial visions of the whole come together. For this the experience and design skills of our partner Progetto CMR, with whom it was possible to utilise the latest advances in the area of office design, were key."
