The intervention area is situated in Milan, in Ponte Lambro , 19 Via DegliUmiliati, on the right bank of River LambroForlanini, southern of the airport. Via Umiliati does not directly overlook the river bank, but they’re separated by Via Camaldoli and by a some hoses in north-south direction. The only direct connection with the riverfront roads is Via Rilke. The area described is then placed in a degraded area between Via degli Umiliati and the river Lambro. The front face of the building has a double color: the ground floor and the attic consist of a coating with horizontal timber-molded aluminum slats ( light color), while the four floors are cream upon the insulating coating. The windows and sliding shutters, in pressed light wood aluminum, harmonize the a building that wants to minimize the impact of colors and materials in the construction. External pavement  consists in grass-protective ridable grids, in order to have as much green as possible on the ground floor.
