Edificio per abitazioni

by Mario Asnago, Claudio Vender · 1948

piazza Sant’Ambrogio 14, Milano, Italy

Rebuilt after wartime damage, this residential building faces the historic setting of Piazza Sant’Ambrogio with a restrained stone-clad façade. Travertine panels and a consistent structural rhythm give the elevation a classical calm, interrupted only where the entrance and garage ramp require larger openings. Later additions introduce recessed loggias at the top while keeping the original order legible. The project shows how modern housing could be inserted into a sensitive urban context through precision rather than monumentality.
