Confcooperative's New Rome Headquarters by It's Architettura
Confcooperative, led by president Maurizio Gardini, has completed a €20 million redevelopment of its historic headquarters at Via Torino 153 in Rome, designed by It's Architettura (formerly Scape). The project, executed in 14 months using BIM, transformed a late-19th-century six-story building of 4,000 sqm into a modern workspace for 160 employees and management. The design by Alessandro Cambi, Francesco Marinelli, and Paolo Mezzalama balances historic traces with contemporary elements, featuring white-painted facades, gold-laminated interiors, a green vertical wall, and domotic lighting and HVAC systems for sustainability. The ground-floor courtyard and rooftop terrace will be opened for public events, contributing to urban regeneration. The initiative involved collaboration with Rome's Sovrintendenza and urban planning assessor Luca Montuori, aiming to position Rome among European cities prioritizing quality urban transformations.
