Reale Mutua Assicurazioni

Elegance and simplicity are the result of meticulous and creative work. The façade of the Real Mutua Assicurazioni building, made with GammaStone Gres AIR Kerlite Bergen Base panels, shows the great mastery of the workforce and the incredible result in terms of lightness achieved by GammaStone Air technology. The new offices façades' design seeks to establish a dialogue with the context of the surrounding buildings (dated XVIII – XIX century), seeking an integration of material, colours, proportions, alignments and yet generate a point of gravity in the urban environment, through a rigorous and sensitive façade organisation, which is based on essential forms – with a longer stay over time and therefore able to escape the mutability of fashion.

From the point of view of design, the building aims to be contemporary and simultaneously intimately bound to the place. As if he had always been there, communicating solidity and permanence over time, values that represent Real Mutua and Turin.

The GammaStone AIR system allows the designer to safely specify large format panels. The panels are mechanically anchored with hidden or visible fasteners that allow a simple fastening to the support. Wind load resistance is far superior to any technical requirement imposed by current regulations even in climatic zones subject to extreme weather conditions such as monsoons and hurricanes. GammaStone AIR is a patent protected product. This project consists of an external cladding characterised by large windows with ornamental architectural elements. The alternation between glass and porcelain gres and the variable proportion of the dimensions of the windows give dynamism and modernity to the façade. These characteristics harmonise harmoniously with the traditional colour of ceramics, guaranteeing a functional and prestigious result.
