The Mandarin Oriental is a luxurious five-star hotel located in via Monte di Pietà, a few steps from the center of Milan.
The project, based on a design by Antonio Citterio and Partners, involved the renovation of four 18th century historic buildings with the aim of adapting and converting the existing spaces to their new function, keeping as much of the original structure of the buildings as possible so as not to alter its charm and historical value.
The project required much structural work, some of which was particularly delicate and complex (Berliner walls/soldier pile walls, precise demolition of load-bearing structures and load transfers).
SCE Project has been involved in the concept, developed, technical and construction structural design and in the structural construction management.
