Particular attention to the environment characterizes the project, designed by Architects BERTOLETTI+GRECO, which designed an eco-sustainable building thanks to the use of:

new technologies with zero emissions
solar power system, which will work at a full power thanks to the optimization of building exposure
cutting edge lighting system that will impact on internal lighting savings
rainwater collection system
electric car charging stations and dedicated parking

Collaborative

The construction, based on innovation and modern concepts, has been conceived with a changeable way of working in mind, with green open spaces and flexibly interchangeable areas that satisfies the business continuous changes.

This is the reason of the presence of wide gardens and recreational surroundings, which gives a pleasant and harmonious working environment for an employees average age of 27 years.

An institutional campus to boost innovation

The close partnership with universities inspired the idea of an inner court representing a university campus, where people can feel more concentrated in the open air, and meet their colleagues to share ideas and discuss together.

The horizontal landscapes will give to the headquarter the real feel of an interconnected suburban tech campus.

The beautiful design is not all.

When an innovative corporate headquarters combine cutting-edge design with sustainability, a clear message of forward-thinking leadership is “built-in.”

It’s a kind of message that the company wants to share with people, both employees or society. Read below more information on the three major project features dedicated to environment, employees and public.

sustainability

What is the most interesting headquarters architecture element?

The project was realized paying attention on the harmony of design in a broad sense, as the result of large indoor and outdoor spaces, windows and natural light with visible green gardens inside and out and attractive interiors.

But, beautiful design is not enough. The building design provides both aesthetic and environmental benefits. Beautiful building design is made even more appealing when there is visible evidence that environmental concern and sustainability are also part of the project.

well-being areas

What does it offer to employees?

The building provides an engaging atmosphere that inspires innovation to boost employee motivation and wellness.

The area will be divided into working space, meeting rooms, and relaxation areas like a lounge room points and gym room where employees can take a break and feel like home.

The design of the new headquarters reflects – and showcases – our corporate values and culture. Real innovation comes from teamwork, sharing experiences and ideas with colleagues. We have a young and motivated team and we want to give them the best place to work, where they can express theirselves and feel appreciated.

local culture

What does it offer to external visitors like customers?

The building will include spaces with a cultural touch hosting a special space dedicated to a local territory products and photo show. We want to tell our story to allow not only employees or customers but also all the external visitors like students, suppliers or media coming for a visit – to discover and appreciate our roots and understand our link with the city of Pavia where SEA Vision was established and grown.

This is the same reason why – already now – we are sponsoring many cultural and sport activities and we want to continue on this way.
