Existing Condition — The S.Pellegrino factory is wedged between the village of San Pellegrino Terme and the Brembo river.

Il Portico - Arcade — The simple arch element is repeated to create a new vernacular combining historically recognizable spaces with contemporary modes of expression. Caves, vaults, tunnels, arcades, and pergolas are connected and combined.

Bridge & Garage — The S.Pellegrino bridge and garage connects the new access road to the Aldero’ site and provides direct truck access to the Factory. As the southernmost tip of the Flagship Factory, it acts as a gate to the village of San Pellegrino Terme.

Il Percorso - Fluid Continuity — In one direction, the arches frame the spaces, views and entries, guiding visitors in a continuous motion of divided and merged spaces. In the other, the glass, walls, roofs and spaces create secondary connections that define the inside and outside.

Il Viale - Connective Landscape — A continuous line of trees dot one side of the Brembo river, shielding the infrastructure from one end while also bringing nature closer to view from within the campus.

S. Pellegrino Flagship Factory — The new S.Pellegrino Campus combines nature and culture, reconnecting the village to the brand as a place for visitors, employees and local residents to celebrate the core values of the group: Purity, Transparency, Naturality.

New Building Volumes — A new structure reminiscent of a drop of water shapes the northern tip of the flagship factory site. The extension is situated in the northern end of the Factory while the office building is located in the south.

"The factory extension is imagined as the aquatic equivalent of a wine cellar: light, transparent, fresh, and natural. Like the mineral water itself, the Factory will appear to spring from its natural source, rather than imposing a new identity on the existing complex. This creates a seamless continuity between the environment of production and consumption, preparation, and enjoyment."
