When Zebra Technologies, a leading provider of digital solutions that intelligently connect data, assets, and people for businesses, entrusted us with the project of building their new Milan headquarters, our mission was to transform the existing environment into an agile workspace that supports the company's ambitions in terms of collaboration, productivity, and sustainability.
The new headquarters is located within the Open336 complex, a newly built office-building that occupies a privileged position in a former industrial area undergoing urban regeneration. The complex is LEED Platinum certified and has been developed with an approach aimed at minimizing environmental impact, with the goal of reducing emissions by 100% during its lifecycle.

Together with JLL's Project & Development Services team, who coordinated the project and construction management activities during the design and construction phases, we took care of the interior design and the work of creating and customizing the spaces.
The offices, which span an area of 600 sqm, are spread over two floors and are characterized by a sustainable and livable interior design that is people-centric and in line with the building's features. The workspaces are designed to meet the modern organizational needs of work, which are less tied to a fixed desk, with multifunctional spaces capable of accommodating various activities.
The lower floor houses the reception and welcome area, the open space work area, private offices, a conference room, and other support spaces such as focus rooms, informal work areas, and collaboration spaces, as well as spaces for individual meetings. The upper floor is conceived as a spacious work café that also serves as a relaxation area, with an adjacent terrace for informal and social moments.
All the environments are designed to be flexible and welcoming, promoting professional relationships while keeping the well-being of the people at the center. The project supports new ways of working, communicates the values of the Zebra Technologies brand, and creates a sense of community and belonging among people.
