Collective housing for Olivetti´s employees

Designed by Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Isola in 1969, this collective housing complex was commissioned by Olivetti to accommodate temporarily resident employees in Ivrea. The building is constructed on the edges of the Villa Casana park, utilizing the artificially created sloping ground to create a two-story semicircular complex. Its underground structure spans approximately 300 meters and comprises 13 duplex apartments and 72 single-story apartments, all connected by a fully covered road identifiable by its plexiglass domes. Today, the building has been divided into 81 individual properties. (ivreacittaindustriale.it)
