Casa Giuliani Frigerio was the last building that Giuseppe Terragni designed before leaving for the war. In order to complete the designs, he had to send letters to his assistant and fellow architect, Luigi Zuccoli. The building was constructed in Como, Italy from 1939-1940. The building is five stories tall, and consists of 14 apartments. The building is exposed on its three sides, and is even built on the same block as Novocomum, another one of Giuseppe’s apartment buildings. The apartment building consists of different spacial configurations and flexible enclosures. These enclosures are connected by moveable panels. Giuseppe also displays this through sliding windows, balconies, and linear metallic elements.
