The principle of excellence is also expressed at Pratic’s headquarters – an internationally celebrated example of industrial architecture that has won major design awards. Nowadays, there are three company premises, all of them designed by Geza – Gri and Zucchi Architects in close collaboration with the owners and conceived by developing formal and technically advanced functional solutions.
Innovative, practical in its function and thought out to the last detail, the Pratic’s headquarters was inaugurated in 2011 and is characterized by an unmistakable suspended black concreate beam, a true landmark within the construction work, highlighting horizontality at a grand scale.
The following two building extensions embody and affirm once again the willingness to keep a coherent and constant dialogue with the surroundings as well as with the Friuli hills of Fagagna, in the province of Udine.
In 2018, seven years after the first establishment, an important new milestone in the company’s history was marked by the creation of additional facilities for the design and realisation of high-design pergolas and awnings.
An area of equal sizes had been added to the existing 10 thousand square meters and designed accordingly to the same principles of simplicity, efficiency and functionality. We are talking about the premises housing the coating line with very low environmental impact, allowing for the first time to offer the market a wide array of quality certified paint finishes, thus propelling outdoor structures to their maximum expression and customization.
Further 7500 square meters represent Pratic’s latest breakthrough, seeing the company at the centre of a swift and sustainable growth in a very broad sense of the term. In 2022, the manufacturing area was further enlarged thanks to the construction of a third site including a completely automated plant for the smart management and warehouse of raw materials. A plus in terms of service to the customers, who can rely on an even greater efficiency as well as for ergonomics, comfort and work safety for the over three hundred employees.
Human and environmental value, indeed, combine with an aesthetical and functional recounting that is never an end to itself. This can be easily perceived when visiting Pratic headquarters, also housing a wide showroom open by appointment. Here you take a closer look to the main pergolas and awnings’ collections, equipped with all accessories available.
Visiting Pratic is a unique experience within the world of Italian design, nature and beauty. In this context, the key outdoor element “comes neither first nor afterwards. Rather it is inborn” – declares Geza architecture firm.
