The practice won an invited international competition in 1996 to design this 45,000sqm headquarters complex for Max Mara, Italy's leading fashion house. Completed in phases by 2004, this low energy-use development on a 30ha rural site south of Milan relates to its historic landscape setting in a distinctive and architecturally timeless way. The principal buildings are individually expressed using a distinctive architectural vocabulary of concrete, steel, brick and glass. The landscape design is deliberately formal, with strong linear arangements, creating an impressive setting for the new complex.
