MILAN | ITALY

The “Habitaria Garibaldi 95” complex consists of three residential buildings which overlook three respective inner courtyards for public use, connected by both covered and open-air pedestrian paths.

The lighting design involves both the common areas inside the buildings and the spaces for public use.

The common spaces and buildings are connected through a lighting which, while ensuring perceptive continuity, adapts to the different architectural morphologies.

Low and small elements were opted for lighting the public spaces, their presence dialogues with the domestic realities of the buildings.

In the courtyards and along the open-air paths, light intensity, while respecting needs and minimum lighting levels of the entire area, is lower than that of the surrounding streets, almost as if to suggest to passers-by greater discretion in the areas overlooked by the private residences.

During the night, when the courtyards and paths are closed to the public, the control of the lighting system is entrusted to presence sensors to reduce the contribution of external light in the courtyards overlooked by the private residences. The lighting is also controlled by a home automation management system in order to offer high levels of well-being to users, to reduce energy consumption, to limit light pollution and to allow the creation of different light scenes depending on the seasons or needs.
