Arcadia Center is the redevelopment project of a 1970s-era building of about 20,000 sqm placed in Via Grosio, Milan. Arcadia Center will house the new headquarters of Volkswagen Leasing GmbH and Volkswagen Bank GmbH. The project is characterized by a refined contrast between the white curvilinear bands which wrap around the street-facing facade, and the anthracite gray rigid, angular volumes of the rest of the building. A designer shell that encloses flexible spaces, offering wellness to those who work there and where natural elements such as air, light, and green space have been ‘inserted’.
