Marfisi Carni
Marfisi Carni’s beef processing plant, situated in the Treglio industrial
zone, in the province of Chieti, is a family business that has been
transformed and developed over the course of several successive
generations. The company’s historical headquarters – including the
management offices, production facility and company store – have
recently been modernized in response to its changing needs.
The project, the work of Antonucci X Crognale Archquadro Associati,
has incorporated all the pre- existing buildings into a single
structure that’s consistent with the company’s updated identity. A
fluid, sinuous curtain wall wraps all around the buildings to create a
distinctive facade with a design that recalls drifts of autumn leaves.
On the upper side of the cladding, Neva 1 linear profiles in two
different lengths, 916 mm and 616 mm, have been fixed internally
using brackets. The lighting fixtures have 10°x40° elliptical optics
that direct the light downward to create a lighting effect that fills
the facade’s perforated pattern, gradually fading as it descends.
As the architectural firm explains, when describing the project
on its website, the light that pervades the perforated curtain wall
itself “becomes architectural material”.
