Edificio residenziale
Collective housing · by Carlo De Carli e Antonio Carminati · 1954
via dei Giardini 16, Milano, Italy
Set within a former private park area, this three-storey residential building adopts a composite geometry that interlocks a rectangle with a shifted octagon. The irregular outline was developed to preserve and embrace a mature plane tree, turning the garden relationship into a defining architectural gesture. Each level contains a large single apartment, while façades alternate broad glazing with sliding wooden screens, solid panels and light metal railings. Although later alterations have changed parts of the exterior, the original design aimed for a sober urban presence that quietly negotiated light, greenery and privacy.
