VIA ARCHIMEDE 148 APARTMENT HOUSE

PALAZZINA DI VIA ARCHIMEDE 148


1939 Luigi Piccinato (1899/1984)

15 apartments

Built on a very steep slope that made possible to have two different entrances: one for pedestrians at the top, on Via Archimede, and one for the access of vehicles to the garages at the bottom, on Via Monte Guidubaldo

“Careful study of light (large windows, use of transparent partition, the absence of enclosed courtyards and dark corridors) and the articulation of the plant that allows original distribution, are the main qualities of this project which tends to reproduce, in a house intended for high income families, some of the results of research on low-cost buildings developed in previous years by the architects of the Modern Movement” (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
