Overview
Torre Faro is a 145-metre-tall headquarters tower for A2A located in Milan’s strategic Southern Area, forming a key urban link between the historic city centre and the emerging Symbiosis business district. Shonn Mills, while at Ramboll Group, lead the multi-disciplinary engineering team. Positioned directly opposite the future Olympic Village for the Milano–Cortina 2026 Winter Games, the project plays a significant role in Milan’s wider urban regeneration and sports infrastructure transformation. The development comprises the new tower, a three-storey fully glazed annex, and the renovation of existing A2A buildings. The tower’s circular plan and eccentric truncated-cone form generate highly complex structural and façade conditions, with bespoke glazed modules and varying structural slabs at every level. Key architectural spaces—including the ground floor, an intermediate sky garden, and the 27th-floor belvedere—feature double-height volumes supported by inclined belt trusses.
