Condominio ai Giardini d'Ercole

Condominio ai Giardini d'Ercole, located at Via San Calimero 15 in Milan, was designed by Ignazio Gardella, Anna Castelli Ferrieri, and Roberto Menghi in 1955. The building comprises eight above-ground floors housing fifteen apartments, three of which were occupied by the architects. The ground floor features a portico supported by inclined reinforced concrete pillars, facilitating vehicle maneuvering. The main facade is characterized by continuous balconies with full-height windows, while the side facades are finished with pink plaster and purple clinker tiles. The design emphasizes flexibility in interior layouts, with service areas consistently positioned to allow varied apartment configurations.
