Residential Building

Extreme neatness of the lines and the use of simple and rigorous shapes define the building. The ground floor is open on pilotis and hosts green areas with Zen gardens; the mansard floor is recessed in the façade, creating agreeable balconies. The materials employed are of great value: the ventilated façade is made of large slabs in stoneware to assure a stone-effect, while the cover, the roof-floor and the stairs are coated with zinc. The roof is composed of curved beams in lamellate wood, prominent from the mansard roof and supporting brise-soleil bands coated with zinc, in order to protect the terraces. An innovative system was expressly developed for outdoor frames, with metal sliding shutters, composed by a modular cellule, adaptable to the different openings of the façade. The buildings contain twenty-one flats of different sizes, fit with one or more bath-rooms, overlooking outside. The flats have large balconies on the internal courtyards, coated with staved wood.
