Palazzo Montecatini

Rationalist architecture

Commissioned to Gio Ponti between 1935 and 1938 the building soon became a symbol of rationalist Milan architecture between the two wars.

In the shape of an H with a private opening onto Via Moscova on one floor is ideal for offices with its internal layout, furnishings and external aspect working together in perfect harmony. Externally, the green marble walls and the standardised iron and aluminium locks annonce the exxpressive clarity and attention to detail that can also be seen on the inside. The complex actually offers avant garde, typological solutions (mobile floors with individual work posts) as well as technological ones (controlled heating and inflateable posts) which Ponti took care of paying great attention to detail.
