Iperceramica Headquarters

Comfort and nature

Linear and contemporary design

The office building for the Bayker-Iperceramica company based in Fiorano Modenese (MO), is on two levels above ground for a total of about 1,700 square meters and was created with the intention of being a simple and functional envelope, characterized by a strongly contemporary image.

The load-bearing structures were designed in prefabricated exposed wood elements (glulam pillars, load-bearing partitions and X-Lam floors) thus ensuring the use of the latest construction technologies in terms of materials, sustainability and prefabrication systems.

With a view to further emphasizing the wooden elements, the parts below the floors of the second floor and ground floor feature a succession of battens to create a repeated scan and embellish the office spaces.

The project has paid considerable attention to the comfort of the interior spaces, the resulting well-being of the staff, and the permeability of natural light. The latter aspect is characterized by the presence of a fully glazed external curtain wall, thus ensuring great transparency, and overlooking an internal courtyard enriched with tree and shrub essences.

The internal separations between the various offices are also characterized by appropriately screen-printed glazed elements, to simultaneously ensure privacy, visual permeability, and the passage of natural light from the glazed curtain walls.

Thanks to this expedient, the offices, workspaces, corridors, and distribution spaces do not require artificial lighting during daylight hours, resulting in significant energy savings.

To protect the radiation on the glazed curtain walls, the project includes the use of an element with a strong aesthetic impact: a large roof sail jutting out from the outer edge of the facades.

The sail can reduce the entry of direct light and at the same time evenly diffuse natural light inside the offices.

This large canopy is characterized by the presence of different overhangs depending on the orientation and solar analysis, so as to manage the appropriate entry of irradiation depending on the solar exposure and needs of individual facades.
