Condominium Building Renovation

The project involves the complete renovation of a building located in the Milanese hinterland. The primary objective of the intervention was to visually lighten the appearance of the structure without altering its nature and load-bearing framework. To significantly improve energy performance, all original protrusions and additional volumes have been absorbed and regularized by the inclusion of modern external thermal insulation.

The new projecting bodies, inserted precisely in correspondence with the old protrusions, have been rethought as spectacular external structures in corten finish metal, capable of giving a strong and contemporary character to the architecture of the entire facade. These metal frames are designed to be enhanced during nighttime hours through evocative plays of luminous architecture.

Particular attention has been dedicated to the livability and privacy of the outdoor spaces, enhanced by rich integrated vegetation. For the terrace coverings, pergola sunscreens have been designed that "cling" to the sides of the facade, creating a remarkable aesthetic play of light and shadow. Furthermore, on the side facing the nearby road infrastructure, dense vertical wooden sunscreens have been installed to ensure adequate visual and acoustic protection. On the remaining sides of the building, the horizon is left open thanks to the use of light and minimal metal balustrades.
