In the heart of Porta Romana, one of the districts preparing for the 2026 Winter Olympics, Casa Moncler — the new headquarters of the luxury brand designed by ACPV Architects, the studio of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel — has officially opened. The building reflects Moncler’s dual identity — solid roots and a contemporary spirit — and is part of the wider urban regeneration of the Symbiosis district, between Porta Romana and Vigentino, also home to Fondazione Prada and the Olympic Village.

Located at Via Ortles 38, the new complex extends across six floors and 77,000 square meters, housing offices, communal spaces, a greenhouse, and a showroom. The architecture preserves the site’s industrial memory: the historic chimney of the former factory has been retained as a distinctive feature, anchoring the modernity of the complex to the area’s manufacturing past. The glass façades, framed by metal structures, open the interiors to natural light and the city, promoting transparency and visual connection across the various levels. At the center, a glass greenhouse brings daylight and greenery into the building.

On the eastern side of the complex stands the independent showroom — an autonomous, double-height volume of about 4,500 square meters dedicated to showcasing Moncler’s collections.

Casa Moncler is not only a working headquarters but also a new landmark of industrial archaeology, emblematic of Porta Romana’s transformation ahead of the Olympics.
Developed by the French real estate company Covivio, with the investment firm Valesco Group as majority investor, the project joins a network of key urban players — including Fondazione Prada, Talent Garden, and the future redevelopment of the Scalo di Porta Romana — contributing to redefine the identity of a neighborhood whose industrial legacy continues to shape every new building that rises within it.

And even Moncler, in its own way, remains tied to that story.
