HIGHTEL HQ OFFICE – Ostiense Station, Rome

HIGHTEL HQ OFFICE – Ostiense Station, Rome

The chosen site for the Hi-Tech Company Headquarters is the Air Terminal located within the Stazione Ostiense. This is a key site both for its location and for its nature. The area is accessed by millions of travelers everyday being the new strategic connection hub in Rome. The Air Terminal confines with the new HQ of Eataly. The Air Terminal is a high-tech industrial structure that overhangs over the train station. The structure is a perfect marketing image reflecting the company engineering’s nature and philosophy. The exterior facade is visible by millions of travelers, making it a perfect site for advertisement and for the company’s visibility. The Vision for the Company’s HQ is a continuous open space where the programs are interlinked with each other’s by organic paths. Glazed circular surfaces divide the more private spaces to the more public areas. The idea is that each member of the office receives all the benefits of the space and everyone has access to all parts of it. Internal sky gardens are placed throughout the space as natural luminosity is uniform through the volume.
