Savills Transforms Mantovani Showroom into a Benchmark of Commercial Architecture

With the goal of updating the image of the Mantovani showroom without erasing its identity, Savills developed a project that combines sustainability, functionality, and contemporary architectural language.

The main intervention consisted of creating a ventilated façade, installed as a second skin over the original building structure. Composed of fixed panels attached to an aluminum frame anchored to the wall, this solution preserves the original façade intact. Beyond its aesthetic impact, the ventilated façade offers thermal efficiency and can reduce energy consumption by 30% to 50%, making the building more sustainable and comfortable.

The new look emphasizes sober and modern lines, revealing the two layers corresponding to the building’s floors. The base, clad in ceramic, conveys solidity and durability, in harmony with Mantovani’s 50-year history. The lighter upper floor uses a modular white aluminum composite with regular openings that enhance natural light entry.

An open canopy was added to connect the building blocks, serving as a transitional element that highlights the entrance while elegantly providing shelter.

Inside, the renovation incorporated new cladding materials, wall painting, and acoustic solutions, focusing on improving natural lighting and creating a comfortable, functional environment aligned with contemporary standards for commercial spaces.

At Savills, we transform spaces into experiences, combining expertise and vision to deliver outstanding projects.
