 The project involves a new commercial building to be realized in Genoa, in an area comprised between Montesano and Imperia streets, as a result of the relocation of the monument of Porta Pila, which currently occupies the area, in the public park in front of Brignole railway station (Verdi square). The current position of Porta Pila is in fact the result of its last shift, occurred after the war, since it was built in the seventeenth century on the axis of via Giulia (now Via XX Settembre).
The new volume will have the special function of “junction” between Montesano and Imperia streets, that are placed at different heights.
The building will be divided as follows:
- three underground levels destined to a mechanized parking garage, for a total of 42 parking spaces, partly extended to below Montesano street;
- a ground floor on Montesano street in which, in addition to the access to the parking garage, will be placed two boxes for cars, the entrance to the stairwell-lift serving the upper three floors and the entrance to the public lift connecting the two streets; - three floors of office space, treated as open spaces accessible from Montesano street and content in the height of the retaining wall of Imperia street;
- an additional volume on two floors, emerging from Imperia street, with destination of public place.
The building will have a stone cladding in correspondence of the ground floor and the first three floors; the volume emerging over Imperia street will have instead large windows and external metal facing.
