CAMPUS UNE

The project is for the new office and production building of UNE Srl, an Italian company related to innovation in photovoltaic energy and its storage. The approximately 2,700-square-meter complex is set within a 5,000-square-meter lot in Correggio, 10km from the Reggio Emilia HS station.

After evaluating the unobstructed view to the rural landscape located to the south and the “breakthrough” to the mountains, orientation and sunshine during the day, the idea of a Campus open to the landscape with a large central courtyard facing south was born.

The building complex is functionally separated into two autonomous parts: the regular and “Cartesian” volume of the production building was placed on the northeast side of the lot, while the offices and other functions were gathered in volumes placed on the south side, conceived as an organic and irregular architecture, consisting of several volumes with varying heights and organized around the square.

The entrance will provide access to the left wing of the complex, where offices arranged on three floors will be housed, and an area for training, workshops and conferences, the latter developed only on the ground floor. The building will be completely energy self-sufficient, thanks in part to the 500-square-meter PV system placed on the roof of the production building.
