In the heart of bustling Milan, a leading modal-switching agency recently made a momentous decision: to group all its Italian offices under one roof, creating a new headquarters that rises like a majestic testament to contemporary architecture in the Macchini area. This bold move underscores the importance the company places on efficiency and synergy among its teams, putting the desire for collaboration, flexibility, sustainability, work-life balance and the well-being of its valued employees at the center.

The result is an iconic architectural structure that goes beyond the mere functionality of workspaces, transforming them into places that inspire collaboration and creativity.
Collaboration: Workspaces are designed to facilitate collaboration among teams. Welcoming open spaces and lounge areas invite employees to share ideas and visions, while innovative design solutions encourage interaction and innovation through shared experiences.
Flexibility: Flexibility is the building’s mantra, with adaptable spaces that can be easily configured to meet the evolving needs of the business. Movable walls and dynamic layouts allow employees to customize their work environment.
