Lavazza plans to expand its Nuvola complex in Turin
Lavazza plans to expand the Nuvola complex in Turin, Italy, into an area between Via Pisa and the Dora river.
The project is part of urban renewal work already under way in the Aurora neighbourhood.
Lavazza has commissioned architects Jean Nouvel, Hala Wardé and Picco Architetti, along with engineering firm Ep&s, to develop the design.
The plan is to renew an existing industrial building and create spaces for coffee culture, architecture and contemporary art.
The wider area also includes a creative studio for artist Giuseppe Penone, who will work on the project with Nouvel.
Lavazza says the new space is intended to serve the neighbourhood and the city.
The project must go through the planned approval process, with discussions involving the City of Turin and relevant authorities.
