This design is quite literally a reflection of its surroundings. It is a minimal intervention and appears as a simple camouflage in order to give place for the characteristic images of Rome.
A smoke-like aluminum roof sits on top of a steel column system, wrapping itself around the trees in the parking lots, providing a series of connected spaces while keeping a continuous view from the roads to Roma Termini station. An aluminum layer that covers the supplementary services rooms reflects the trees, the scooters and bicycles in the parking lots, the buildings around and the sky. Its appearance changes according to the weather, allowing it to melt into the surroundings.
