The architecture doesn't limit itself to the planning
fit but it ends with the realization of the work, and this happens not
necessarily before facing the Administrations and the corporations standing
around the building trial. The complexity of the relationships and the
compromises that there can be at the beginning of an architectural production
cannot however justify shortage of the planning commitment and/or the total subjugation to the businessmen and
buyers requests: the system that goes from the planning to the realization of
the work is always a "social action", it is shared, and in there the
responsibility of the architecture must be recognized, to all the levels and in
every context.

In this case, the project counted the realization of a
building to residential destination inside a lot not built and not reached by
public services like roads, illumination, sewerages, etc...
There is an area of considerable dimensions to manage;
inside this area it has been necessary to organize, laying down the Public
Administration, the whole public works system that would have been then a
service to the building: the access road to the building races along two sides
of the quadrangular perimeter of the lot, conducting the cars to the area
predisposed to open parking lot, and an ample green zone faces the
residences. Everything is also in the
service of a building with parking lot at the basement and that it develops out
on three levels on earth: eight apartments fairly divided in the first two
floors and only one apartment with garret of pertinence.

Beyond a mere functional description of the
intervention, action focus is still the wish to reinstate the architectural
quality to the directional vertexes of the building intervention, refusing the
homologation to the reassuring and anonymous morphology of the surrounding
buildings.
The classical and consolidate residential functions
can be found in a "box" which does not refuse the archetype of the parallelepiped volume, but even in the tension of the planning
search it “lives” and rotates along a parallel axle to the ground almost
lifting from earth the look of its more representative face.
Cleanliness and compactness of the prospects are the
aims always pursued and happily reached through the use of a simple and direct
language, particularly evident in the formulation of the principal prospects:
ample balconies extend themselves along the front whole length, but an single
graphic sign coordinates the complexity of the system-prospect of the openings,
synthesizing the single elements in an unique dominant motive, in the
identification profile of the whole architectural body.

The graphic element which the management of the
prospects has been submitted to never makes the great rotated box less clear:
the two-colour process of the plasters makes the white of the wrap jumping on
the grey one of the behind surfaces, letting the intervention morphology
underline the guidelines.
