Sempione Gardens
- Milan

2026
Competition

Sempione Gardens was born from the idea of giving the city a place that integrates hospitality, wellness and public space, reinterpreting an existing office complex through a new architectural and urban identity. Developed as a proposal for a design competition, the project transforms a prime site located between Corso Sempione, CityLife and Parco Salvador Allende into a contemporary destination open to city residents and visitors through a redevelopment that preserves and enhances the site’s existing heritage while introducing new hospitality functions, spaces for wellness activities and areas fostering social interaction.

At the center of the intervention, a large garden promotes dialogue between the city and the architecture, giving rise to a welcoming and inclusive destination. Planted terraces, hanging gardens and open spaces integrate harmoniously with the urban fabric, offering new opportunities for gathering and relaxation.

A key element of the project is the panoramic rooftop, which is conceived as an exclusive destination open to the city. This space accommodates an elegant restaurant and bar, spacious lounge areas, a solarium and inviting plunge pools surrounded by greenery, whilst affording an extraordinary 360-degree view of both the Milan skyline, from CityLife to the historic center, and the Alpine arc to the north.

Defined by a contemporary architectural language, natural materials and with a great emphasis on sustainability, Sempione Gardens represents a new idea of living and welcoming the city: a location that is open, elegant and truly Milanese.
