Nesite in Gioia22 project


Nesite has supplied more than 25,000 square metres of raised floor for the new green tower in Milan's Porta Nuova - Gioia district.

Part of the urban redevelopment plan for the creation of Milan's new Porta Nuova - Gioia district, "Gioia22" stands in the former area of the INPS executive complex, built in the 1960s and remaining operational up until 2012. Designed by architect Gregg Jones of Pelli Clark Pelli Architects of New York and developed by COIMA, the tower has 26 floors above ground for a total of 120 metres and 35,800 square metres of built surface area. "The 'Glass Splinter' - as it has been renamed by the local citizens because of its geometry - is tapered on the south front, towards Piazza Gae Aulenti, and has a crowning at the top (the so-called 'Top sail') as an extension of the west façade, which juts out vertically 19 metres above the top floor and enhances its asymmetrical composition. The facades are made of high-performance triple-glazed panels and - combined with 6,000 square metres of photovoltaic panels, a heating and cooling system powered by groundwater and overall LED lighting managed by daylight sensors - allow for optimal control and a consequent reduction in overall consumption. The tower is in fact a sustainable and innovative model, with the use of Cradle-to-Cradle certified materials, in line with the principles of circular economy.

In line with the #design philosophy, all the raised floors used were supplied by Nesite, an Italian company recognised for its green supply chain and oriented towards safeguarding natural resources and limiting environmental impact. The use of Nesite floating floors, developed with recycled, recyclable and certified materials, meet the high standards imposed and desired by COIMA and the tenant, contributing to the achievement of the Nearly Zero Energy Consumption Building level. Gioia22 is in fact the first tower in Italy to meet the requirements of the European directive, i.e. to ensure a balance between energy produced and consumed close to zero with a 75% reduction in energy requirements compared to the most recent office buildings in Milan, and is qualified to obtain LEED and WELL certifications.

The total supply of 25,000 square metres of raised flooring, distributed between the reception, work and service areas, is made with panels with a calcium sulphate 60x60 cm core, 34mm thick, and galvanised steel columns. In Class A1 fire reaction (60' according to EN 13501-1), these floating panels also offer excellent thermal insulation and load-bearing capacity, walking comfort and ease of removal and replacement of individual elements for inspection or replacement. In addition, in order to maximise the inherent acoustic insulation characteristics of the floor, an additional pad has been installed at the base of the steel structure, thus attenuating noise transmission between rooms. Finally, for the technical and service rooms in the basement, a galvanised steel structure with tubular beams was adopted, which maximises the load-bearing capacity, and an antistatic PVC panel covering (500 sq m in total); for the reception area on the ground floor was chosen porcelain stoneware  (1,500 sq m in total).
