Piazza Duomo, Milan - Promod shop

2000 - 

Design, Construction Supervision and Coordination of Safety for the construction of a new store in a historic building overlooking Piazza del Duomo. The intervention was carried out by the merger of several housing units and connecting three floors of the building. The age of the building, the need to build large open spaces in zones constructed using masonry load-bearing elements and the will expressed by the operator to connect the three floors with escalators , led to the gutting of the entire building with demolition of load-bearing walls and entire portions of floors and the construction of new metallic structures. Further difficulties encountered during the intervention were that structural works were carried out below inhabited apartments as well as the central location of the building also in a high pedestrian transit zone. An efficient safety and security coordination was required in order to avoid accidents during work and in the early stages of procurement of carpentry and other construction materials. Competence and professionalism have allowed to complete a project of this entity in a short period of time.
