The ground floor

The roof space

To increase the sense of security and liveability not only outside of the buildings but also inside, we decided to redesign the rooftop of the towers and use them as common spaces. Through physical improvement of spaces like glass railing, LED lights, furniture and so on, we want to use the potential of these roof spaces and encourage people to spend their free time there.

Because of the excellent view of the city at night, these spaces can attract people not only from the neighbourhood but also from other parts of Milan.

We propose that the inhabitants of the towers act as ma agers and workers in the bar and cinema, so this intervention would create job opportunities for them, and also increase a sense of collaboration between them. In this way, the sense of security inside the building will also increase because of the increase of communication among inhabitants inside the buildings.

Evening workshops

By restoring the spaces with new LED light and new and adequate furniture, we would like to create a space for evening workshops like the graphic and light art design, or language courses. Just as in the previous case, we would like to implement our idea and use the vacant spaces on the ground floor where inhabitants could spend their free time, for example after work or dinner, instead of staying at home. They would have the possibility of spending time with others, learn new skills and gain new knowledge. For instance, we propose language courses for people from the neighbourhood, each willing to teach their mother tongue to others. This is just a small example of how these spaces can be used, but the main idea is to have common spaces inside the buildings where people can spend time together, and not remain alone and isolated in their flats.
