The first known purpose-built office building dates back to 1560 and was built
in Florence. Originally known as the Palazzo degli Uffizi (with the old Italian
word for “offices” being Uffizi) it is now world famous and houses works of
art by the great Italian Renaissance artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo,
Leonardo da Vinci and Raffaello to name but a few.
At The Florence Building, the first totally new-build office building in Basingstoke
for over 15 years, Abstract have sought to distil the essence of what makes the
art and style of Italy so iconic to provide a contemporary working environment
designed for today’s dynamic office occupiers.
