LO STUDIO

The studio is located in Borgo Aurora, a highly innovative area of ​​Turin undergoing redevelopment, inside the former industrial building built by Pietro Fenoglio in the early twentieth century and then rebuilt after the bombings of July 1943. After the war, the Swiss company Chocolat Tobler had chosen Turin and this building to set up its only branch abroad. In 2009 it was transformed into an office and residential building in which the central element is a courtyard where large terraces and gardens overlook a common garden.
