Second Twin

Twin Housing is a seam between two unconnected but rich in services districts of Milan: Comasina and Affori. These two buildings - on the sides of Affori Metro Station - offer proximity, coexistence and liveability by the use of density as a catalyst of quality for public spaces, where children, adults and the elderly can freely meet .Intensity of living is pursued in the towers and the blocks which also host shared spaces for social interactions. Autonomous but complementary, Twin Housing mixes people and opportunities while filling the city with dense compact buildings around a public transport hotspot.
