Torri Moretti

The building, located in Rome’s P.le Flaminio, was designed in the 1970s by Luigi Moretti, one of the most important Italian architects of the 20th century.

The renovation project respects Moretti’s original design and seeks to combine the architect’s architectural integrity and desires with the needs of the 21st century.

Thanks to the use of the most modern and efficient technologies, the philological restoration gives the new facades a refined verticality that was impossible to achieve at the time. The interventions in the façade elements, such as the aluminium cornices, the reinforced concrete volumes in the roof and the white columns, are minimal.

The glazing is full height, with very light, almost invisible frames, in keeping with the master’s wishes. The modern materials make a difference not only in an aesthetic sense: the glass chosen insulates the building much more effectively, bringing it to a higher energy standard.

In order to reflect the sketches of the original project, the aluminium profiles that run vertically along the facades, which were red in the 1970s, have been painted gold.
