Frigoriferi Milanesi Area and Palazzo Del Ghiaccio

Frigoriferi Milanesesi 

overlooks via Piranesi 

through a bright-red, 

100 meters long 

(plug Building): the
 Open Care Café 

located in the basement, becomes the 
entrance to a different world that deal 
with the the themes of art and treasures. 

The project intends to transform Frigoriferi Palace 
(an ice factory built in 1899) and Ice Palace(1923). 

Into multi-purpose structures: the new distribution 
system is organized around a (throat-like) cavity 
containing the lifts. 

The underground Caveau is the most charming 
element of Frigoriferi Milancesi, suspended 
between the black vehicular rampes and the  
labyritnth of corridors and vaults.
