“La forza primitiva del cemento si trasforma, rivelando una nuova ima nella fusione degli opposti, nel contrasto tra rigore e delicatezza.”

Factory Gym

FACTORY GYM transforms urban fitness with a sleek design in a post-industrial setting on Alzaia del Naviglio Pavese, in Milano. The entrance boasts a backlit portal and sliding glass door, leading to a bespoke reception desk beneath a striking black lacquered ceiling. Elegant glass corridors and a backlit staircase create a sophisticated atmosphere, complemented by backlit mirrors and scenographic walls. Technogym is the exclusive equipment partner. The large vaulted ceiling of the industrial building is illuminated by blue spotlights, softening the coldness of the pre-existing space while enhancing the captivating interplay of the concrete structure. The contrast between the rigidity of concrete-like ceramic tiles and the delicacy of sophisticated details creates a space that is not only solid and tangible but also immersive and alluring.

MOOR was created as a place capable of engaging guests in a complete, immersive, and shared experience: the project interprets dining as a moment of socializing, entertainment, and aesthetic discovery, a place where light, materials, and volumes interact with visitors and tell a coherent story of hospitality and style.

Housed in a former industrial warehouse, the restaurant features a five-meter-high interior. Its dramatic façade stretches over 100 meters across three fronts, featuring bold portals, gleaming metal, and large windows that hint at an interior defined by light and transparency.

The dining area spans about 800 mq, seating up to 300 guests in spaces that balance intimacy and sociability. Flared volumes, semi-private rooms, and scenic islands create cozy settings without breaking visual flow. The predominantly neutral and dark palette, punctuated by bold accents, creates an atmosphere both captivating and inviting. Bespoke fittings and furnishings engage in a subtle dialogue that enhances the space.
