• About Firm
  Recs Architects was founded in 2011 by architects ph. D fellows of Politecnico di Milano, Pier Maria Giordani and Chen Zhen, experts in different research fields, ranging from architecture, interior to urban planning. Recs Architects has around 60 colleagues in six global branches: Parma, Milano, Dubai, Belo Horizonte, Beijing, and Chengdu. In recent years RECS won many international design awards by their diverse projects.

RECS always make project to correspond the Core identity of Client. In this project we keep the keywords “to be Italian: simple, clean, regular, intriguing” for the client Minya Group, a big Chinese F&B company which promotes the Italian design, fashion, and lifestyle to China.
Our main goal is to make a landmark, even though not a skyscraper, in a context where all the surroundings look similar and monotonous. The perimeter with non-orthogonal lines characterizes the plasticity of the elevations, that greatly strengthens the simplicity and modern and express the power of beauty.
