Expo Village Cascina Merlata

Gruppo Euromobil made a great logistic effort to furnish 38,000 m2 in two months; 7 towers and 397 flats providing total sleeping accommodation for 1334 people.

Falzé di Piave (TV), 24 March 2015 – Chosen by EuroMilano as its partner in creating interior decor for the buildings in the Cascina Merlata Expo Village, a large area north west of Milan next to the site for the 2015 Milan Expo, Euromobil has furnished the residences and common areas with bespoke solutions designed to enhance the dwellings, create a well-balanced environment and optimize space.

The Cascina Merlata district project is one of urban requalification: the complex comprises 11 tower buildings, 7 of which have been completed. It has involved several planning studios – CZA, C+S, MC A, b22, PURA and Teknoarch – and been developed to the most advanced principles of sustainability to create a class A district with zero footprint. The furnishing project was drawn up the Design Department of the Milan Polytechnic (Luisa Collina, Massimo Antinarelli and Laura Galluzzo)

From 1 March to 31 December 2015 the buildings will be used as the Expo Village and will give temporary accommodation to the delegates and staff of the countries taking part in the EXPO.

When this temporary hospitality stage is over a social housing plan promoted by EuroMilano S.p.A. will assign the residences at subsidized rents, or offer them at controlled prices to young couples, single income families, students studying away from home, and elderly people. This will make Cascina Merlata the biggest social housing development in Italy, set up on behalf of the “Cascina Merlata Social Housing” Fund.

The role of official supplier for the Veneto concern Euromobil, run by the Lucchetta brothers, confirms the high quality of its products and acknowledges the fact that they represent the excellence of goods carrying the Made in Italy label, and the perfect combination of Italian tradition and design renowned throughout the world.
