Torre Europarco, Contemporary skyscraper in Torrino district, Rome, Italy
Torre Europarco is a 120-metre skyscraper in the Europarco Business Park in Torrino, Rome. Its dark blue-green glass curtain wall is crossed by white vertical aluminium fins of varying lengths, and it rests on a white opaque shell base measuring 20 by 64 metres. The building has 35 floors, two of them underground, and houses offices of the Lazio regional school office and the Città metropolitana di Roma Capitale.
The tower was designed by Studio Transit and presented in 2006 together with the wider Europarco Business Park plan; construction began in 2010 under the general contractor Parsitalia. In 2009 the Province of Rome set up a fund of about twenty properties at BNP Paribas to arrange a lease with purchase option, aiming to move its offices into the building, which fire service technicians had initially declared unusable.
The tower is also called Torre CMRC or Torre Transit. It houses the regional school office for Lazio and some offices of the Metropolitan City of Rome. The ground-floor shell holds an assembly hall, a large atrium and children's areas facing an inner garden.
The building operates as an active office center with access for business visitors during working hours. Keep in mind this is a private business complex where interior access is typically limited to employees and business partners.
The white base shell measures 20 by 64 metres and holds an assembly hall, a large atrium and children's areas opening onto an internal garden. The facade panels are sandwich cells: 8 mm tempered glass outside, a 20 mm air gap and laminated safety glass inside.
