New Rome headquarters of a major Italian company S.p.A.
The new headquarters of one of Italy’s leading companies occupies nearly 3,000 square meters, spread across two entire floors within a prestigious building complex in eastern Rome.
FAD oversaw the architectural and plant design, construction management, and safety coordination, developing a project that combines functionality, comfort, and corporate identity through customized solutions and high-quality, certified materials.
A project based on an analysis of flows and functions
The design concept was born from constant dialogue with the client and a careful analysis of organizational needs and workflows. The goal was to create a headquarters capable of fostering efficiency, collaboration, and well-being for a large number of employees spread across a very large area.
The first floor is dedicated to management and training functions, while the second floor houses operational and coordination activities.
The building’s floor plan, characterized by a dominant longitudinal axis, allowed the spaces to be organized around a central corridor, optimizing natural light from the large ribbon windows on both main facades.
The artificial lighting complements daylight with a system of low-energy lenticular optic ceiling lights equipped with motion and ambient light sensors, ensuring visual comfort and energy efficiency.
Transparency, Continuity, and Material Quality
Glass walls with minimal profiles were installed along the circulation routes, separating private offices and meeting rooms.
This choice promotes visual continuity and the diffusion of natural light, while maintaining the necessary privacy thanks to minimal window decals applied to the glass panels.
The choice of finishing materials helps define a coherent and dynamic identity for the spaces.
Vinyl flooring with different finishes was used to characterize the various areas:
- a light concrete effect for open spaces and main corridors;
- matte navy blue for the private offices;
- beveled planks with a natural oak parquet effect for the meeting and training rooms.
The vinyl flooring was chosen for its technical performance—fire resistance, non-slip grip, and impact noise reduction—and for its aesthetic variety, capable of characterizing and enhancing each space.
Security and controlled access
The project placed great emphasis on security, defining different levels of access based on the functions and sensitivity of the areas:
- Low-level turnstiles with badges for operational areas;
- Full-height turnstiles and high-security booths with biometric control for the most private areas.
These solutions ensure an optimal balance between security, seamless flow of access, and corporate image.
