Social Housing
- 2011 | Lodi Vecchio (LO)
The roofs of the two main buildings bend and fold to shape the entrances, boundary wall, loggias and residential terraces, marking a permeable edge between private space and the city. Brought to the foreground, these surfaces embrace the main volumes and give the homes a character distinct from the anonymous apartment block. A central open courtyard provides access to every home and divides the complex into two parts that relate to each other and to the surrounding park. Beyond the shared threshold, each resident has a modestly sized home that extends into a private garden or an upper-floor loggia.
