Project in implementation of the Convention to be carried out in two phases:

– With the first phase, a building renovation project was drawn up with a change of intended use on the ground floor and recovery of the attic without an increase the s.l.p. of the existing building (building block “A”);
The existing building has a rectangular plan with a “pavilion” roof.
The slopes are supported by wooden beams with Marseilles tiles resting directly on strips. The windows and shutters are made of wood but do not have chromatic homogeneity. The facades are in a mediocre state of superficial conservation. The internal one also has an unsightly iron canopy covered with sandwich panels.

The project includes:
> The demolition of the canopy on the courtyard side and the formation, in its place, of a portico supported by eleven reinforced concrete pillars combined two by two

> The replacement of all windows and shutters.

> The redistribution of interior spaces.

> The Formation of a new attic volume.

The attic lies on the pre-existence, also resuming the scanning of the full and empty floors of the floor below, both on the Via Scarpa side and on the courtyard side, so as not to alter the perspective harmony of the existing building.

– With the second phase, we proceed with the expansion with a new building (building block “B”);
The building object of intervention or Factory Body “B” built in adherence to the pre-existing building defined as Factory Body “A” is spread over three levels. The part facing the inner courtyard will be the fulcrum of family life, it is in fact more protected from the eyes of strangers and turns the large openings towards the green property; For this reason, the rooms that require more light such as the kitchen and the living room are located here. On the street side, where the services and bedrooms are housed, the openings are smaller and recall those of the pre-existing building in form and above all in the scanning between full and empty spaces.
Here and on the side elevation there is a vertical greening system of the façade which from an architectural point of view helps to better integrate the new building within the garden.
The choices made from the point of view of facade cladding have a twofold objective. In the first place, guarantee the efficiency and sustainability of the cladding elements. Secondly, differentiate the character of the two buildings (the new and the pre-existing).
The design of a green façade introduces aesthetic and environmental advantages in the context in which it is inserted, but the most important advantages are those inherent in the ecological aspect. Green facades, in fact, act on the microclimate and influence the physical-technical behavior of a building. In addition, when the green wall is a few centimeters away from the building, as in our case, an air gap is formed that offers the advantages of a ventilated wall, increasing thermal resistance. In summer it regulates the rise of the surface temperature and in winter its lowering.

Concorso ad invito + Milano

The intervention configures an urban scenario that utilizes the design of the public space, functioning as an urban park, to initiate the revitalization processes through the articulation and continuity between the large dimensions and the small measures of paths and rest areas that insinuate and shape the proposed settlements. The park, with an area of about 6000 square meters, has an X shape that develops on a crossed system of axes, corresponding to two different tensions that characterize the green space, yet both axes are distinguished by a strong vocation for naturalness and spatiality. The North-South axis is the heart of the park, offering the most extensive spaces suitable for free enjoyment, rest, and leisure, with discreet seating for rest. Conversely, the East-West axis is more dedicated to walking and connecting; in fact, its presence is entrusted with the task of linking the urbanized area with the most important presence in the area, namely, Parco Lambro. The new building volumes, limited in height and land occupation, provide a backdrop to the new urban park, which employs traditional materials. The project, essentially, falls within the cultural trend that today finds in the design of public space and the use of natural and bio-sustainable materials the means to avoid being trapped in essentially outdated construction types. The housing units have been designed with particular attention to east-west solar exposure, and the large windows they are equipped with have the ability to enhance both light and panoramic views inside. As already highlighted, the garden, the park, the green lung within which the buildings are situated, plays a fundamental role not only from an aesthetic point of view. Typological Characteristics of the Project Starting from the plan volumetric layout, the study of building typologies and new settlement weights led to the distribution of volumes divided into 8 buildings (5 free housing buildings, 1 social housing building, 2 student residences) oriented with a north-south axis to make the most of sunlight throughout the day. The project was essentially conceived with the principle of "unity of land and common use of spaces" in mind. The design priorities were, essentially, to provide the Residence buildings with an area independent from the others so that the necessary spaces could be used by guests and especially by the Foundations without interference with the rest of the subdivision. Therefore, the portion of the lot that best fulfilled this task was found to be the southern area, separated from the rest of the lot by the design of a new road, which is nothing but the natural extension of the existing one, directly connecting our area with Parco Lambro. From an architectural point of view, the complex will be articulated into two rectangular factory buildings overlooking a rectangular aggregation square. In general, the quality of the internal distribution of the housing units and their views has been maximized through the articulation of the building volumes with deep loggias and large openings. The treatment of the loggias varies depending on the case, with solid surfaces entirely covered with vertical greenery in some cases and a pattern of vertical slats, wood-screen printed, in others. The two "Residence" buildings will together provide accommodation for 112 rooms for guests, with two different types of apartments (type A and type B), distributed equally on each floor. They differ slightly but both are equipped with private services and direct access to their own loggia. Each apartment has a living room with a kitchenette. The ground floor houses the piloty and the necessary rooms for the activities of the Foundations.  PROJECT DATA CLIENT:   Private TYPOLOGY:   Competition STATUS:   Finished PLACE:   Milano SUP:   19.980 Mq VOL:   --- Mc APPART.
