The project
Client: McArthurGlen Designer Outlets
Location: Barberino di Mugello (FI)
Category: Retail
Designer: Hydea S.p.A.
Area: 50,000 m²
The well-known McArthurGlen brand commissioned Agribeton to carry out the extension of the famous Barberino del Mugello Outlet in Florence. The project, which presented a number of challenges due to geographical and infrastructural factors, had to be completed within a particularly tight timeframe, and was a source of pride for Agribeton.
The project’s architecture, with its rusticated buildings and round arches, aims to replicate some of the most famous examples of the Tuscan architectural tradition.
The project required a high level of attention to the quality of workmanship, with meticulous craftsmanship and carefully selected materials to ensure durability and aesthetic harmony with the surroundings. Agribeton has successfully drawn on its building heritage, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
