CREMONINI GROUP
Cremonini Academy
A space in disuse, previously used as a warehouse, was completely renovated and redesigned to become a centre of knowledge, exchange and information.
The Cremonini Academy was built within the Cremonini headquarters in Castelvetro and intended to train future Chef Express and Road House Restaurants employees. A welcoming, elegant, and dynamic place designed to allow the right balance between training and direct practice.
The project presents two communicating structures through a significant passage obtained by the former warehouse and archive spaces. The walls overlook the quadrilateral of an internal courtyard, also redeveloped with the presence of greenery and bases that act as a pedestal for two sculptures, the visual centre of the new spaces that open around it. In addition, a new external pedestrian path communicates directly with the internal areas through the demolition of the old curtain wall and the design of a new ventilated wall with large windows, which allows you to illuminate the new functions expertly. Optimal use of space: the environment, exceptionally high due to the old use of the premises, has been lofted, and the first floor transformed into offices; on the ground floor, two areas are both equipped with kitchens. The largest can be separated from the training area with two modular walls, which can quickly guarantee a solid division thanks to a mobile system. Architectural quality, functionality and simplicity uniquely distinguish the new spaces of the Cremonini Academy.
Two different styles to differentiate the brands: sophisticated and minimal for Chef Express, and impactful and convivial for Road House. Two areas with distinct peculiarities in which you can make the most of the potential offered by the brand for the well-being and growth of their employees.
