In Buscate (Milan) the architects Roberto Mascazzini e Nicola Zema has designed a new housing experience in Casa Branca, originating from the binary division of the lot that hosts it in “rows” parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axis of the city street.
The binary idea featuring the entire project area creates the illusion of a spatial expansion of the villa’s garden, while internal horizontal and vertical paths are designed with a few internal partitions in line with the initial idea.
In addition, the view of this house on the narrow green corridor that separates the entrance from the street remains mostly hidden by a strong border wall and closes respectfully on the family’s private, while the rear garden enjoys the dynamic game of volumes reflected on the tracks in a colourful dance of shapes.
The skilful combinations of materials such as lead plates, glass and wood panels give movement and shapes to the facade on the rear garden without contradicting the clear and pure white masonry.
Finally, the domestic dimension of Casa Branca is fully expressed in the elegant sequence of indoor perspective views within a protected and silent private.
