The urban masterplan project and the SYRE residential complex by Studio Marco Piva are aimed at redeveloping the San Siro district of Milan. A landscaping and architectural intervention that gives a soul back to an uneven area of the city: a new pole of efficient and sustainable living.
Starting from the territory and its history, the project configures latest generation architectural organisms, conceived to create an osmotic relationship between the city and the landscape.

The territorial context of the project is characterized by a diversified architectural panorama. This vast area, known in Milan as the San Siro zone, includes two symbolic areas of Milanese sport: the football stadium and the horse's racecourse.
The project by Studio Marco Piva is based on a Masterplan that solves an urban void abandoned for years, involving the construction of three residential complexes, two for free building and one for social housing.
The pre-existing buildings on the plot, mainly stables and shelters for the horses once used in the races organised at the nearby Trotter, were dilapidated and covered with roofs made of asbestos sheets.

The architectural structures of the free housing will house approximately 123 flats and have been articulated both planimetrically and altimetrically with the aim of restoring an orderly landscape, with a non-invasive, measured and valuable structure in terms of shapes, materials and finishes.
The fluid and harmonic architectural language wants to define new, more organic forms of living, rich in views and loggias, establishing an intense and effective dialogue between inside and outside.
The predominant part of the residential building will be built along Via dei Rospigliosi: a building consisting of 8 floors, set back and protected to the boulevard facing it, by a row of new generation trees. It will be a building characterized by an important system of balconies and terraces of different shapes and sizes. This volume will create an architectural continuity with the existing building front on Via dei Rospigliosi. At the head of this building, a tower section will rise up to reach 22 floors in height.
The building intended for social housing (ERS), consists of a body extending from 6 to 9 floors and will house approximately 142 flats, with more linear forms that dialogue with the context.

In the project, landscaping will play a dominant role, extending from the large park, the heart of the project, to the vast terraces and balconies, to the loggias and canopies with a strong appeal to a new lifestyle in which the "home" will not be conceived as a simple environment to return to after a day of work or study, but as a chosen place for a "new sociality" of the urban family and neighborhood.

The Master Plan and Architecture project draws strategic inspiration from the objective of protecting, conserving and caring for the valuable tree formations present in the Lot.
In particular, three plane trees are preserved – with imposing dimensions (about 30 meters high), and it is proposed to create a new row of trees arranged parallel to Via dei Rospigliosi, which will configure a wide avenue shaded and will be the connecting element of the entire area, with a strong landscape value.
