Casa Lavezzari

© José Tomás Franco

Casa Lavezzari was an apartment building that Giuseppe Terragni designed in a trapezoid shaped corner lot. The building was constructed in Milan, Italy in 1934. In order to tackle the shape difficulty of the lot, Giuseppe used the same approach that he used for the Novocomum apartment building. Giuseppe used two buildings that rotate and fused at the narrowest point of the site. This allowed for access and circulation. He also used the location of the stairs to his advantage. The use of balconies is also heavy in this project. The building consists of five floors with 18 apartments. There was also an installation of canopies.
