3,600 sqm of lawns and outdoor areas in Milan Porta Volta, at the core of the building complex designed by the architect Gaetano Lisciandra. The project adds an embracing outdoor space for the residents without sacrificing the comfort of having a parking garage in the city centre. Technical solutions borrowed from green roofs and permeable paving solutions create a fluid environment, in which the functional and natural elements interact. Landscape design is inspired by the homework pages: the square flooring elements connect each building to the green areas in a neat yet unpredictable way. Isles of lawn, patches of shrubs and trees chase each other respecting the orthogonal rule but skipping lazy symmetries. Large WPC platforms invite you to enjoy the sunshine – sometimes hiding a technical element. Everything is ordered like in an exercise book: even ventilation grids, drains and gutters join the composition with the help of ballast filling. A garden where imagination can play with the zigzag outline of the flower beds, like at schooltime.
