Palazzo Lombardia
Palazzo Lombardia rises in Milan as a modern architectural complex centred on a 161-metre skyscraper. Steel, reinforced concrete and glass create its sleek appearance across a 33,700-square-metre site. Curving lower structures, known as corpi bassi, extend around the tower and hold cultural and entertainment spaces.
Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, Caputo Partnership and Sistema Duemila shaped the complex with sustainability in mind. A climate wall captures solar heat, while photovoltaic panels generate energy on parts of the facades. Groundwater heat pumps support the cold beam system, regulating temperatures through the building.
Piazza Città di Lombardia links the lower structures as Europe’s largest covered plaza. Restaurants, a post office, a kindergarten and public activities fill this spacious interior setting. Gardens and newly planted trees preserve a green connection to the former Bosco di Gioia nursery.
