Commitment for sustainability and getting healthy workspaces has been translated into diverse landscaped courtyards, also into technological systems and painstaking material solutions, achieving the LEED GOLD rating, issued by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council).

“Thinking big” spirit is been translated into serial, prefabricated and large scaled solutions, allowing tight resources economy. A building designed to foster collaborative work in spacious, simple, kind and optimally illuminated environments, just working as background to allow textile goods to be the real protagonists.
