• The first building was designed in the 1950s by the architects Magnaghi and Terzaghi and is overlooking “Via San Giovanni sul Muro”;
• The second building of the 70s overlooksg “Via Porlezza 12”.

The works related to the first building consists in replacing the existing aluminum windows with new products made of steel profiles, in order to guarantee the respect of original elevations and to improve the thermal and acoustic performances.

The project related to the buildings on “Via Porlezza 12” involves the realization a double skin curtain wall created for the façades exposed on the courtyard and a single glazed skin curtain wall made for the facades that overlooks “Vicolo San Giovanni sul Muro”.
