Description

In one of the streets of the centre of Milan characterised by a nearly unbroken continuous façade from the 20th century, Bellini inserts a new residential building.

The structure is placed into continuity with the buildings around it: the street façade is maintained unaltered, following the rhythms and the arrangements typical to the street.

The exterior façade is done in Ceppo di Poltragno stone, like many other homes in Milan; the elliptical courtyard emerges onto the street with a figurative autonomy establishing a discreet relationship between the interior and exterior.

(Ermanno Ranzani)
