COMMERCIAL-RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX

Lecco – Italy
Completed: 2000
with: Arch. Diego Toluzzo , Arch. Raffaella Ballabio , Arch. Giosuè Micheli
General Contractor: Pietro Carsana & C. S.r.l. – Lecco – Italy

This new residential complex with 58 apartments and 6 commercial units at street level was built on the site of a demolished older building in downtown Lecco. The planimetric and volumetric scheme placed the buildings along the existing roads, creating public and private green areas close to a large historic park.
The articulation of the volumes with different heights, helped to reduce the volumetric impact on the road sides, creating a long shopping arcade open to the public.
