(what it looks like, retrofitting): VP19 is the result of a full renovation (deep retrofitting) of a building originally constructed in 1965 by the Magnaghi-Terzaghi team in Milan at Via Vittor Pisani 19, a monumental axis connecting Piazza della Repubblica with Stazione Centrale. Over time, the building had undergone several modifications, including the addition of a new residential floor with a green terrace. Acquired in 2018 by Dws Alternatives (Deutsche Bank) and intended for tertiary and commercial use, the intervention included remaking the facade, optimizing the entrances, and creating flexible interior spaces. Special attention was paid to the green space, with new terraces and a roofing system in line with Milan's TMP.
The adopted system ensures overall energy savings of over 30% in the annual operating cycle. It cuts indirect emissions by 35% (considering the CO2 equivalent generated by electricity production) and completely eliminates direct CO2 emissions. The goal of obtaining Leed Platinum certification was pursued with the aim of ensuring maximum efficiency and reduced consumption.
