SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli

Based in Milan, SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli balances solid lower building masses with exposed skeletal steel crowns and seamless, postless corner glazing that wraps sharp architectural angles. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing delicate glass-to-glass connections or resolving the structural transition between heavy lower plates and open steel frameworks in commercial and hospitality environments.

Sharp building corner featuring a glazed upper volume reflecting clouds and a dark panelized lower volume by SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli.

A striking exterior facade detail showcasing a sharp glazed corner and dark panel base, useful for studies in curtain wall detailing and reflective building envelopes.

What we like about this project
The upper volume glass wraps the acute angle seamlessly without visible corner posts.

Geometry
An acute building corner where stacked rectangular volumes step back, featuring vertical mullion grids and sharp crisp edges.
Facade system
Unitized glass curtain wall over dark panel cladding.
Structural guess
Steel frame with suspended curtain wall framing.
Spatial scale
Multi-story commercial or institutional building scale.
Lighting
Bright daylight with dramatic cloud reflections across continuous glass surfaces.
Atmosphere
Crisp, sharp, and reflective with strong sky integration.
Environmental context
Open urban setting viewed from a low angle against a cloudy sky.
Spatial experience
The sharp corner condition creates a dynamic intersection between sky reflections and solid massing.
Composition rhythm
Vertical fins and mullions establish a steady rhythm across the glass planes.
