LEUCOS BUILDING SCORZE' ( VE)

Project: Commercial Offices and Show-room
Project Team: Arch. Roberto Pamio, Arch. Manni Claudio, Arch. Pamio Matteo, Arch. Mauro Ziliotto

A vertical sign in the neat, orderly landscape of the Veneto countryside, the obelisk at the gate of the building designed in the province of Treviso by architect Roberto Pamio for lighting manufacturer Leucos, rises like a boundary mark on the long, straight road that leads from Treviso into the province of Venice. Insubstantial and transparent, its blue coloured glass seems to sum up both the image of the company, which uses hand blown Murano glass, and the architect’s design philosophy, always attentive to the relationship between construct and nature, on this occasion reflected in the boundary between earth and sky. It was designed as a secret space, removed from the noise of the main road and carved out of the continuity of the countryside: a place where workspaces are punctuated by moments of rest and perhaps also contemplation; where architecture is the colours changing with the seasons and the crash of water from the glass spout in the artificial lake into which the building itself appear to sink, and around which it is necessary to walk to reach the Leucos offices.
