The building is the headquarters for the soc. Schreder Spa manufacturer of lighting fixtures for outdoor use. The project, as well as the adaptation of existing buildings for production, provides for the renovation of the office building and a small extension. The renovation of the existing building has retained the existing box, creating a wavy coat aluminum sheet and the interposition of movable perforated aluminum sunshades in front of the ribbon windows. The expansion, made of reinforced concrete walls and large windows, contains the reception, the meeting room, the stairs and the elevator. The body extension was coated with asbestos cement, anthracite, while the windows are aluminum profiles. The outdoor areas were rehabilitated by removing the fences and creating a green space open to the street.
