A sequence of enclosures defines a new fabric, characterized by alternating full and empty spaces, with the aim of regenerating a portion that had fallen into disuse.The ground floor houses porticoes, collective and technical functions, and is characterized by the rhythmic presence of small patios and gardens.The two buildings are characterized by the presence of compact masses broken up by large openings.The volumes bend over the roof like sculptural elements, defining a new relationship with the sky.Natural Siena-colored lime characterizes the architecture, reinterpreting 20th-century architectural culture and recalling the industrial vocation of continuous casting, which is characteristic of the Sesto area.
