rome based-studio ofl architecture has partnered with rabatanalab to create
'nuovo palazzo della provincia di bolzano',  an office building located in
bolzano, italy. generated by the desire to establish an abstract continuity with
the existing city, the structure features a complicated facade derived from the
floor plan of the nearby duomo.

extracted from the layout of the cathedral of bolzano, the exterior skin is
composed of interconnecting forms that recall iconographic symbols of the city.
stylistic and organic in its composition, the structure, with both modern and
traditional attributes, dominates its surrounding environment.

the building comprises a total of nine floors above ground and two underground
levels, including a mezzanine floor and seven levels dedicated to offices. the ground
floor consists of an arcade, obtained by pulling back the building's perimeter wire of
the main facade, thus allowing the integration between the road and the interior
environment.
