RENOVATION OF PALAZZO "EX POSTE” IN PIAZZA CORDUSIO, 3 MILAN

Restoration of the former Palazzo delle Poste in Milan which hosts the first Starbucks in Italy. The restoration works on the Kryalos complex ended in December 2017, adapting the building complex to modern needs. The project is characterised by the combination between the enhancement of the historical building designed by the architect Broggi and innovation, new interior layouts, and functional and aesthetic improvements. The general redevelopment of the complex, consisting of two buildings, was aimed at redefining the internal distribution of spaces to adapt them to the multi-tenant logic, i.e. making them available to multiple tenants. Originally designed by architect Luigi Broggi, the internal room with double-height ceilings that was once the Post Office agency headquarters has been profoundly altered, having been restored to its original configuration by the removal of a mezzanine floor, which was a visual interference in the general perception of the room as a single environment. Carron is acting as General Contractor, at the forefront when it comes to solving any unforeseen issues. The operation has enhanced the property from a functional and aesthetic perspective, eliminating the superstructures and enhancing the open-air space inside the lot with a new “garden” set-up typical of Milanese courts.
