The choice to complete the existing street front has guided the design towards a building with a clear urban nature. The intention was to evoke the elements of post-war Milanese residential architecture, with a contemporary language.
The role of bridging the different heights has been reflected in the compositional articulation of the building itself. The building is characterized by two volumes connected by a cantilevered facade made of glass and metal.

The proposed building aims to reinforce the urban and Milanese character of the block. The lower volume, on via Serao, is more austere and orderly. The facade is enhanced by the stone cladding and the details of the openings.
The taller volume on via Pirandello has a free layout marked by large plaster areas in different shades of gray. To ensure maximum continuity with the adjacent buildings, on via Pirandello we came up with a cantilevered structure combining glass surfaces and balconies, on via Serao, we set up balconies echoing those characterizing the existing facades.
We decided to not fencing the private area in front of the entrance, guiding pedestrians to the building facade with the design of the garden fence.
The project aims to commute traditional Milanese architecture in a modern key. The building's facade, characterized by clean lines and a design that combines materials such as glass, metal, and wood, is dominated by large windows that allow natural light to illuminate the interior spaces, creating bright and welcoming environments.
The wooden window frames contrast with the gray metal structure, adding warmth to the overall aesthetic. This combination of materials gives the building an elegant and contemporary look.
The fully glazed corner, thanks to the absence of a supporting pillar, is particularly prominent and serves as a focal point of the overall design. Its position at the intersection of two streets, along with the large windows extending the full height of the building, offers a panoramic view of the surroundings and natural light.
The building is an example of modern and contemporary architecture, it has been designed with the intention to reflect the urban character of Milan. The fully glazed and cantilever corner becomes the icon of a new style of Milanese architecture.
