Iperceramica Headquarters

Comfort and nature

Linear and contemporary design

The office building for the Bayker-Iperceramica company based in Fiorano Modenese (MO), is on two levels above ground for a total of about 1,700 square meters and was created with the intention of being a simple and functional envelope, characterized by a strongly contemporary image.

Wood and technology

The load-bearing structures were designed in prefabricated exposed wood elements (glulam pillars, load-bearing partitions and X-Lam floors) thus ensuring the use of the latest construction technologies in terms of materials, sustainability and prefabrication systems.

With a view to further emphasizing the wooden elements, the parts below the floors of the second floor and ground floor feature a succession of battens to create a repeated scan and embellish the office spaces.

Legno e tecnologia

Le strutture portanti sono state pensate in elementi prefabbricati di legno a vista (pilastri in legno lamellare, setti portanti e solai in X-Lam) garantendo così l’utilizzo delle ultime tecnologie costruttive in quanto a materiali, sostenibilità e sistemi di prefabbricazione.

Nell’ottica di sottolineare maggiormente gli elementi in legno, le parti sottostanti i solai del primo piano e piano terra, sono caratterizzate da una successione di listellature così da creare una scansione ripetuta e impreziosire gli ambienti degli uffici.

Indoor spaces and natural light

The project has paid considerable attention to the comfort of the interior spaces, the resulting well-being of the staff, and the permeability of natural light. The latter aspect is characterized by the presence of a fully glazed external curtain wall, thus ensuring great transparency, and overlooking an internal courtyard enriched with tree and shrub essences.

The internal separations between the various offices are also characterized by appropriately screen-printed glazed elements, to simultaneously ensure privacy, visual permeability, and the passage of natural light from the glazed curtain walls.

Thanks to this expedient, the offices, workspaces, corridors, and distribution spaces do not require artificial lighting during daylight hours, resulting in significant energy savings.

Spazi interni e luce naturale

Il progetto ha riposto notevole attenzione al confort degli ambienti interni, al conseguente benessere del personale e alla permeabilità della luce naturale. Quest’ultimo aspetto è caratterizzato dalla presenza di un tamponamento esterno completamente vetrato, garantendo così grandi trasparenze e affacci su una corte interna arricchita da essenze arboree e arbustive.

Anche le separazioni interne tra i vari uffici sono caratterizzate da elementi vetrati opportunamente serigrafati, così da garantire contemporaneamente privacy, permeabilità visiva e passaggio della luce naturale proveniente dai tamponamenti vetrati.

Grazie a questo accorgimento gli uffici, gli ambienti di lavoro, i corridoi e gli spazi distributivi non necessitano di illuminazione artificiale per le ore diurne, con un conseguente notevole risparmio energetico.

“A path that has seen the creation of contemporary architecture to serve and for the people who work there. At a time when it is necessary for Italian entrepreneurs to rethink work spaces with a view to the well-being and quality of life of those who live in them, the headquarters of Iperceramica is a virtuous example. Not only that: designing flexible buildings designed to be simply assembled and able to guarantee comfort through natural resources, allows us to reduce CO2 emissions as required by the Paris Agreement”

The cover sail as an aesthetic and functional element

To protect the radiation on the glazed curtain walls, the project includes the use of an element with a strong aesthetic impact: a large roof sail jutting out from the outer edge of the facades.

The sail can reduce the entry of direct light and at the same time evenly diffuse natural light inside the offices.

This large canopy is characterized by the presence of different overhangs depending on the orientation and solar analysis, so as to manage the appropriate entry of irradiation depending on the solar exposure and needs of individual facades.

La vela di copertura come elemento estetico e funzionale

A protezione dell’irraggiamento sui tamponamenti vetrati, il progetto prevede l’utilizzo di un elemento dal forte impatto estetico: una grande vela di copertura aggettante rispetto al filo esterno delle facciate.

La vela è in grado di ridurre l’ingresso della luce diretta e al tempo stesso diffondere in maniera uniforme la luce naturale all’interno degli uffici.

Questa grande copertura è caratterizzata dalla presenza di sbalzi differenti a seconda dell’orientamento e dell’analisi solare, così da gestire l’adeguato ingresso dell’irraggiamento a seconda dell’esposizione solare e dei fabbisogni dei singoli fronti.
