Produced with two moulds and in lengths of up to 1,500 mm, the surface alternates an unglazed natural finish with glazed pastel tones. The aim was to give the building envelope expressiveness, materiality and identity: qualities that have always distinguished the Leone brand. The result is a run of around 1,000 sqm, A1-certified and fire-resistant.

The new roof covering of the former Residence Bocconi is made of glazed terracotta shingles, laid in a scale pattern to follow the curvature of the volume without interruption. The overlapping elements create a protective, waterproof skin, while the colour echoes the surrounding greenery and the organic references typical of Art Nouveau. The result is a distinctive envelope that brings together function, materiality and architectural memory.
