The New Headquarters

A Feng Shui inspired garden-Factory over a 15,000 square meter surface in the heart of the leather manufacturing cluster. Braccialini takes a revolutionary new look at its Florentine site, conceived so as to accommodate more than 200 employees in an environment that zeroes in on the quality of work and wellbeing.

The element of major impact is most surely the principle Façade, covered entirely by a vertical garden with plants and ivy that embodies the company’s strong vision of environmental defense. the wall garden will play the function of ‘thermal stabilizer’ for the entire building, beside reducing external noise pollution. The project also foresees the use of renewable sources of energy, such as photovoltaic solar panels and the recovery of rain water for irrigation of the garden.

But, the real revolution concerns the internal layout of the headquarters, which will be based on Feng Shui principles, the ancient taoist geomantic art of china that teaches how to harmonize the space we live in. For this important project, Braccialini has consulted the master expert of Feng Shui, Mr. Chan tit-Kwan from Hong Kong.

Quality of Work, ‘liveability’ and mental wellbeing are, in fact, the three principles that Braccialini wanted to follow when it commissioned the project For the new seat. in that regard, the cafeteria/break areas will have all the comforts imaginable, an avant-garde gymnasium, and a suspended garden with an area to relax on the rooftop. In addition, employees will be able to take advantage of day care center, in accordance with town planning legislation. An approach to industrial architecture that is absolutely innovative and that places Braccialini among the most modern and socially responsible companies in Italy.
