In late 2018, GLA architettura invited MÀKIA to develop the concept design through construction documentation for the exterior areas and landscape for this historic structure that occupies an entire city block in the heart of Milan. Developed by the Fosun group, the project will be named ‘The Medelan’ and will include 55.000 square meters of retail, offices, and restaurants. Scheduled to open in 2021, the exterior spaces include three garden courtyards, extensive green-wall systems, and roof terraces providing spectacular views over the city.
