Work environments
The Milanese headquarters of Hearst Magazines Italia, one of the world's major media groups, occupies four floors of Building 6 of the new Maciachini Center office complex.
Designed by the firm Sauerbruch Hutton, the volumes of Buildings 5, 6 and 7 feature efficient and well-articulated plan geometries and a striking exterior appearance created by the rhythmic patterns of the colored glass cladding modules.
Analogously, the color a central role in their interiors, each floor is characterized by a main color (yellow, blue, orange or red) that identifies the magazine that occupies it, as well as light touches of the other colors, which serves to emphasize the ties between the group's publications.
The office layouts are organized so as to take full advantage of the characteristics of the high-tech building envelope. The open-space workstations are neatly arranged adjacent to the glazed perimeter walls, where they are illuminated by natural light, while an adequate number of closed offices permits the editorial staff to work in calm surroundings and also to organize small meetings.

Workstations: 450
Executive offices: 48
