PALAZZO FERRERO - MILANO

2007 - RESIDENTIAL

​

​

The residential complex constituted an important regeneration intervention in the center of Milan (Brera), consisting of a rare case of new construction within the historic center. 

Modern class A housing has taken the place of an old garage.

The shape of the lot allowed to confront the theme of the angle, solved in a harmonious way with curvilinear shapes. While in height the eight floors above ground are characterized by homogeneous setbacks that generate large terraces.

Inspired by the architecture of the great Milanese masters and in conjunction with the adjacent building of Pietro Lingeri, the project reworks in a contemporary way criteria, values and specificity of Milanese architecture, attempting to offer a contemporary model of sober elegance, also thanks to the choice and careful use of materials and finishes, as well as a precise attestation to the two adjacent buildings of Via Sacchi and Via Landolfo. 

The choice of mirroring up to the ground is determined by the will to relate with the surrounding space, which finds its apex towards the tower of Filarete.
