sustainable innovation.

SUSTAINABILITY RECORD

TOQ13 sets new sustainability standards. An efficient renovation transformed TOQ13 into a Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB), which aims at energy self-sufficiency and is a significant contribution to the European taxonomy’s environmental goals.

Flying carpet

Generating energy by defining a new landscape.

Meticulous attention was paid to the design of
the energy “Flying Carpet”, making the building
recognisable from multiple perspectives.


The installation was designed considering pedestrians and onlookers from the adjacent towers, ensuring a harmonious integration of the installation with the urban landscape’s aesthetics.

FOCUS

With its 326 photovoltaic panels distributed over about 600 square metres, the Flying Carpet can generate about 120 kWp. It is a passive and active system: it helps reduce solar radiation on the top-floor glazing, shields the plant system located on the roof from view, and generates energy, significantly enhancing the building’s energy performance.

A concrete approach
to climate change

This tangible approach to climate change involved an in-depth analysis of risks and the implementation of adaptation strategies to mitigate its effects. All development stages comply with the strict Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria, ensuring an approach that does not cause significant harm to the environment.

Green Area

Open-air spaces for creative minds.

Outdoor spaces redevelopment played a crucial role in TOQ13. These were conceived as environments for sharing and outdoor working. An example of these are the covered podium spaces at the foot of the building, embellished with greenery and designed for breaks and informal meetings.

By integrating the interior space with the city landscape, TOQ13 redefines the urban area’s boundaries and functions. The view becomes an opportunity to experience the open space, blurring the threshold between inside and outside.
