The project aims at interacting with a broader spatial and cultural context, embracing the residential Milanese tradition of XX Century, with its contemporary urban interventions. This “Milan Style”, that spanned mostly between the aftermath of World War II and the economic boom of the Sixties, is represented through several buildings designed by architects such as Gio Ponti and Luigi Caccia Dominioni.

Building morphology is characterized by the particular shape of the corner plot, where the two building wings meet each other forming a sharp angle. Consistently with urban planning regulations, the design is conceived to rebuild the urban fabric, harmonising building’s height to that of surrounding buildings. Street elevations are sober and elegant, characterized by the adoption of specific technical solutions, such as sandstone facades and cantileverloggias. The effect of the latter solution constitutes an interruption in the volume of the building, generating an overall dynamic and contemporary image.
