A wide green meadow in the heart of Milan. An invaluable richness.
\nThe limited number of families, the odd closeness of the military life and the need for privacy, led us to plan a structure combining the detached, or semi-detached houses typical of the suburban areas with the typical blocks of flats of the city.
\nBoth these building typologies are designed as two wide urban villas: they are low and they are arranged around a yard – partly covered – where the landings and the access-ways are located. This place unites the public and private dimensions. The expressive strength of the buildings is based on the alternation of the masses, of the empty-full volumes and of the terraces just around this intermediate place.
\nThis semi-private “in-between” is the place of the unforeseen events, of the memories and of the childish games. It is the place of the homecoming. The external world is represented exclusively by the sky, which is often leaden and seldom clear.
\nA sort of modesty towards a community wanting in green areas, forces the buildings to “disguise”, through the dissolution of their colours.
\nLow cost and search for richness, where it seems impossible to find or even require it.
\nWith intimacy and modesty.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
