The New Massimo Dutti Headquarters consists of a palafitte building which releases most of its ground floor to allocate the space for vehicles parking. Proposed solution generates optimal road accessibility to the building, protecting vehicles and users from weather and improving ventilation and thermal comfort in hot climate periods.

The 220 m long building, 60 m. wide and 3 plants, sets the access to the building in ground floor, and lets two upper floors to be entirely dedicated to workspace. Total building height is 15mts, being ground plant 4mts high and 5,5mts the workspace floors.

Commitment for sustainability and getting healthy workspaces has been translated into diverse landscaped courtyards, also into technological systems and painstaking material solutions, achieving  the LEED GOLD rating, issued by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council).

“Thinking big” spirit is been translated into serial, prefabricated and large scaled solutions, allowing tight resources economy. A building designed to foster collaborative work in spacious, simple, kind and optimally illuminated environments, just working as background to allow textile goods to be the real protagonists.
