Sesto San Giovanni
The PII variant to MilanoSesto masterplan envisages, in fact, a linear development of residential areas such as UCP-1A: high aligned fronts overhang the pedestrian axis, leading to an unavoidable two-dimensional structure of the public space. The strong depth for the three bodies of the building would normally lead to single view units, with consequent poor quality and low variety: a re-interpretation of the railing typology would instead offer all the units a double outlook and breath. To ensure an adequate level of privacy without losing the mix of public and private spaces - characteristic of this traditional Milanese typology - the distribution balcony is detached from the internal front of the building.
