Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Milano Living Green is located in one of the most famous and well-known districts of Milan, the Lambrate area, and one of the faster growing real estate areas in the city recently. The project aims to realize one prestigious and exclusive zero waste residential building, involving the redevelopment of the 4500 square meters former industrial area converting it into two 60 apartment buildings surrounded by balconies, trees, plants, amidst ponds, gardens and open space for yoga and sports.
- Inspiration
- The project develops the creation of a new residential complex with a green, sustainable trend, where nature takes center stage promoting harmony between the people and their habitat, where plants, trees and humans coexist, living in the city like in the countryside, minimizing the negative impact on the environment. The project will be inspired by this new kind of modernity given by the concept of floating gardens, the wide and bright windows and its wise use of materials.
- Research
- The project seizes the opportunity to contribute to the growing avant-garde trend in the Lambrate area with its charming galleries, exhibitions, and lofts who make this location ideal for conceptual projects. The social adventure surrounding the area is undoubtedly valuable. Based on the concept of floating gardens, the aim of the intervention is to guarantee the inhabitants a wide visual breath through games of transparency with green gardens with a double height.
- Challenge
- The building object of the intervention is located in a residential and tertiary area, where there are no particular elements relevant from the landscape point of view and does not belong to a place characterized by a high level of consistency. Furthermore, the route is not subject of environmental restrictions.
- Realization and Technology
- The project aims to change the shape of the existing building, creating new alignment of the main faccade and developing parallel axis to the part of the internal courtyard. Visual convenience, living comfort, and energy efficiency are the main features of the living units through a visual journey characterized by its semi-transparencies and some strong perspective lines.
- Operation and Interaction
- Milano Living Green flats are designed following the newest and highest A-energy class standards, strictly due to the latest criteria in terms of environmental sustainatility and thermal efficiency, while using advanced heating systems and the highest quality materials developing a zero-waste residential complex.
- Project Duration and Location
- Located in Lambrate area - the "Milanese Brooklyn" - known for its contemporary and artistic feel, the neighborhood is seeing a new phase of great renewal and expansion. The construction is scheduled to start in October 2020.
- Specifications
- The property consists in 51 apartments with a cut of mixed sizes. The ground floor has an entrance hall, an outdoor and an indoor lounge, an indoor swimming pool for shared spaces and large green spaces. The upper floors are entirely occupied by the appartments and their respective balconies and private double height gardens.
