How would Dolce & Gabbana design a building? That is exactly what they are doing in Milan with the Metropol Theater. The historic Milanese Theater, built in the 1940's, is being completely rennovated and redesigned in a way that only D&G can do it. In addition to events for the fashion house, the Metropol will have plenty of space to host a whole array of chic venues.
Naturally, this project is distinguished by the sophisticated architectural fusion that is the hallmark of all Dolce & Gabbana projects: sleek lines and volumes, "Mediterranean" materials like basaltina stone and black opaline glass, exquisite finishes and detailing, and refined interiors.
The focal point of the space is an enormous room with approximately 1000 square metres of floor space and dramatic 15-metre-high arches, with a surprising new balcony made of black glass. Reception areas fan out from the room to offer the public maximum comfort and leisure. On the basement level are the support and service areas, equipped to ensure the building's smooth operation.
