San Donato - Housing

On a derelict industrial site on the outskirts of Milan, architects are creating a new neighbourhood and defining the principal geographical features and the various urban environments: avenues, squares, public gardens, landmarks, etc. The mission is to optimise the number of m² to be developed in 19 buildings containing almost 600 apartments of varied layouts while guaranteeing the quality of the internal and external spaces. The balconies with their hanging gardens serve as a thermal regulator, favouring the use of natural ventilation and lighting at the heart of the buildings. The creators’ conceptual approach has given birth to a diversified configuration that guarantees a dynamic and emblematic urbanity.
