COLUMELLA HOUSING COMPLEX, MILAN
Concept and preliminary design.
A new urban building
Interstitial parks, sheds, residential buildings of different types form the fabric of this part of the city. The building, erected on brownfield site, recombines the morphotypes of the neighborhood, creating a linear ‘urban’ plate that follows the streets and that including also the vertical dimension of the tallest building.
The other two residential buildings settle on this continuous edge which, without the ‘stone armor’, manifest their most intimate and domestic materiality.
