Chiesa di S. Francesco di Sales

Chiesa di S. Francesco di Sales

Religion · by Vittorio Gandolfi · 1970

via Della Commenda 37, Milano, Italy

Inserted into the dense historic fabric of Milan, San Francesco di Sales is conceived as a “house‑church” combining worship space, parish functions, and housing. The L‑shaped plan maintains the street edge, while loggias and a ground‑floor portico guide visitors to the entrance. The façade balances horizontal concrete slabs with vertical accents such as balcony railings and downpipes, creating a lively urban rhythm. Inside, thicker walls and low windows with colored glazing shape a more intimate atmosphere within the multifunctional complex.
