Please describe the project specifications

The client requested a design solution to visually “hide” the parking building located opposite the main offices across the street. Our proposal consisted of a flat continuous surface that avoids interference with pedestrian circulation, while incorporating a smart graphic treatment to bring movement and dynamism to the mesh.

The material, supplied by Ferrari, was produced in white. Through a specialized printing process, the colors and graphics were added, ensuring printting all the mesh.

Production was carried out in collaboration with the manufacturer, and the panels were delivered to site in six large-format pieces, facilitating efficient installation. The erection process was straightforward, though it required exceptional care to prevent any damage to the existing trees and to the glass façade of the main building.

The final outcome successfully integrates the parking structure into the urban context, minimizing its visual impact while providing an elegant, functional, and client-oriented architectural solution.
