The work involves the regeneration of a building, in part abandoned for some time, designed in the mid-1950s by two important Milanese architects (Luigi Vietti and Cesare Pea), and which was completed from 1952 to 1961. Due to its typological and formal characteristics, the building, intended for the offices of SADE, and later ENEL, is representative of the most advanced trends in international architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, of which there are other significant examples in Venice.
Within the scope of the possibilities granted by the building and its structural and architectural configuration, it was possible to think of a new life for it with a different use. It is now permitted to be used as a hotel because of the reorganisation of the distributive-functional aspects, plant engineering, and the seismic improvement, while keeping itsstructural and architectural nature unaltered.
The building will have over 140 rooms, a restaurant, meeting & conference rooms, and will become the main structure in the historic Venetian centre of the Spanish NH hotel chain.
