CityLife Residences, Parcel II

Studio Libeskind concludes its work on the 25-hectare site that included the masterplan, 10-hectare central park, and a new public piazza within a gleaming skyline composed of three iconic towers by Studio Daniel Libeskind, Zaha Hadid Architects, and Arata Isozaki & Associates and the first housing parcel that provided 330 luxury units. For Daniel Libeskind, the design of the Residences reflects the changing composition of an historic Milanese neighborhood. Using a classical courtyard configuration and naturalistic materials he remains faithful to the character of the surrounding area, while the asymmetrical layering of the façade signals a contemporary transformation of this language. The Residences, ranging from villas to apartment blocks, are carefully sited on the perimeter of the site at a scale that resonates within the existing context. The roof tops slowly rise from the southeast along Via Spinola with low-rise seven-story buildings that climb northwest to a 14-story height along Via Berengario. This flexible arrangement not only maximizes daylight, fresh air, and views of green space but also gives each unit a distinct character from one to the next.
