BMW main office
Completed in 1998, it was designed by the Kenzo Tange Associates Italia studio. The building has eight floors and measures 42 meters tall.
Made of three basic units, whose structure was built with much-sought first class materials. The metallic façade was built through a system of painted steel, while the windows allow a large amount of light and sound-proofing. The show-room, in particular, is characterized by ceramic granite flooring, and façade panels that flow from straight to curved tempered glass with steel detailing and backing.
