San Pellegrino Flagship Factory
San Pellegrino Terme
The new San Pellegrino flagship factory is the result of an international competition to redesign the old factory and bottling plant on the historical site of San Pellegrino Terme, near Bergamo.
The MIC-HUB team, led by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group - has designed an innovative extension to the rational and functional architecture of the existing factory, where the renowned Italian water is bottled near to its natural source.
The new design creates a setting that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the surrounding Alpine nature.
It evolves from a simple arch, forming expanding and contracting tunnels, archways and green arbours that seek to frame the brand's history and heritage.

Our contribution
The new plant design establishes a missing connection between the factory and the city.
Its functional layout, featuring a new road system and access bridge, limits the impact of heavy traffic on the urban settlement by re-distributing the vehicular flows across the entire road network.
MIC-HUB’s expertise was key to delivering a highly ambitious architectural project, which enhances the productivity and efficiency of the factory.
MIC-HUB supported the team in creating a new, sustainable and functional vision of the factory, outlining new access patterns for all modes of transport, which focus on separating the heavy vehicular traffic of the site from car flows.
MIC-HUB was able to propose innovative and optimised solutions for the logistics, thereby ensuring an efficient functioning of the plant even during the construction phase.
