At the outskirts of Brescia, the Atena Headquarters takes shape as an extension of the existing Lombard farmhouse, entering into dialogue with the agricultural landscape of the Po Valley.
The archetypal form of the “casetta” becomes the geometric matrix of the new volume: a monolithic structure in earth-toned concrete that reinterprets rural typology through a contemporary lens. Subterranean portions of the building are integrated into the terrain, with green roofs that allow the architecture to blend seamlessly into the landscape.
A new perspectival axis structures the masterplan and opens views toward the surrounding countryside, enriched by Land Art interventions. The project unfolds as a unified cultural and landscape vision, where architecture, nature, and art converge into a single, coherent expression.
