Ex Sandvik

The “Ex Sandvik” project is located in an area of Milan that has seen significant investment in urban redevelopment in recent years, making it a hub of innovation and renewal. Simplex is involved in the development of both the Design Development and Construction Documents stages, which include partially renovating the existing factory and constructing new buildings for tertiary use.

The use of BIM tools has been crucial for developing complex forms and volumes, which have been repeatedly reassessed to meet the client’s needs. Support was provided during the layout update phase thanks to close collaboration with the appointed designers.

Additionally, BIM tools allowed for the study of internal radiation and lighting, significantly improving the project in terms of worker well-being—a topic of great interest in the current landscape of cutting-edge architecture. The support provided led to the optimization of proposed forms and scans through the use of parametric software. Once the best solution in terms of cost-effectiveness and form ratio was identified, it was engineered, revealing a wealth of information and details even in the final phase that is difficult to achieve with non-BIM tools.
