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.

Rigenerazione Urbana + Milano

The project area is included in the Urban Renewal Sector – ARU. The ARU are parts of cities undergoing transformation, consisting mainly of productive areas with adjoining tertiary parts linked to small production, interspersed with sporadic presence of residential buildings. The aggregation of these types generates an uneven and disaggregated building fabric, devoid of urban references, in which it is difficult to intervene with a "regulatory" project of reference for the surrounding spaces. In this specific case, the small border public park was considered as a reference element and "regulator". We intervene on a particularly frayed building fabric without particular architectural references, in an area of small size that does not allow to significantly affect the context. For this reason, we said, it was decided to enhance the existing public space through the "visual" expansion of the green space, creating a wide strip of private green as an expansion of the park itself, a minimal fence without solid masonry parts and an open ground floor with large full-height windows that expands and gives depth to the space itself. At the planimetric level, as already mentioned, the building is located parallel to the major axis of the urban public garden, leaving the latter the role of catalyst of the whole intervention. In its vertical development the building reveals all its particularity. A volume made visually light by the sinuous lines of the balconies, which enhance the best perspective views on each floor and shape each house differently. Each floor is designed according to its orientation and reserves maximum comfort for its inhabitants. The sinuous balconies, between transparencies and opaque parts offer important outdoor spaces. The pre-painted iron parapets interrupt the gentle curves of the concrete at various points to allow the user to appreciate the private green and the park. Each apartment in the scheme, therefore, has access to an outdoor terrace that generally borders the living room and which acts as a multiplier of space and comfort of the housing unit. These generous outdoor spaces, real outdoor living rooms, connect private areas in search of harmony between the urban world and the natural environment.Great attention has been paid to the continuous LED lighting of the facades, recessed in the false ceiling of the balconies, follows their own sinuous course, reinforcing the role of urban landmark, even at night, of the intervention.
