“Il Sole 24 Ore” headquarters - Renzo Piano Building Workshop

“Il Sole 24 Ore” headquarters
1998 - 2005
Milan, Italy
A pre-existing industrial building was restored and
converted to be the new headquarters of the Italian
financial daily newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore.
By demolishing the street facade of the original square
building, a south-facing opening was created. The
new building is U-shaped, with a vast central garden,
a green hill hiding subterranean parking underneath.
Bright-green sun-shading blinds on the outside of the
glass facade animate the exterior.
