Open 336
the building that breathes

Barings Real Estate and Savills Investment Management Sgr's office building Open 336 has been designed and built with an approach aimed at minimising environmental impact from its design and construction to its life cycle and maintenance.

Open 336, a building named after the house number where it is located on Viale Sarca, in Milan's Bicocca district, launches a bridge to the future starting with one of the most pressing issues today.
It can be defined a Net Carbon Zero building, capable of reducing emissions by 100 percent throughout its “life cycle”.
Inspired by the principles of responsible, liveable architecture designed for people, the building consists of five above-ground floors and two basements, used for parking. The façade summarises and reinterprets the morphological elements of the surrounding buildings, where the red colour of brick and the dark hues of iron are strongly present. The choice of GRC lightened concrete used as a façade material precisely responds to the intention to reinterpret the area’s material history in a contemporary key.
The ground floor lobby is a large, bright space surrounded by vegetation, while the office area extends from the first to the fourth floor.

Buildings, whether existing or newly constructed, are responsible for most of the CO2 emissions generated in the world. Reducing these emissions will make it easier to achieve the decarbonisation goals dictated by the UN 2030 Agenda.
Usually a lot of attention is paid to the carbon footprint level in the construction phase of the building, but no thought is given to the future. Today, reducing the environmental impact and consumption of the building throughout its life cycle has become a key objective. This need is met with Eco2Air® technology.
The filter made of biological and biodegradable material designed by Fervo and provided with DAC Performance Certification by University of Milan Bicocca has decarbonisation capacity for only 10 kg of product, which is 10-15-fold higher than that of magnolia or pine trees. In 20 years, it can absorb over 24,000 kg of CO2.

We at the Fervo Group are at the forefront in helping to reduce our customers' environmental impact by optimising consumption.

When an environment is designed and built according to sustainability criteria, people experience it with a higher level of well-being.

Air quality management is one of the aspects included in the sustainability reports of companies that want to communicate the results achieved in terms of social impact.

Building sustainability certifications consider air quality management as one of the most important metrics to be taken into account.
