Facade system CITYLIFE - HADID RESIDENCES

Project Feature The Zaha Hadid residences, an intrinsic element of the redevelopment project for the former trade fair district of Milan, include 7 typologically consistent buildings. The 30,000 sqm (323,000 sq ft) glass façades and both composite and wood paneling of the buildings have been designed in ‘relief’ to make room for a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces. Picking up the sinuous progress of the roofing, the curved line of balconies defines the movement of the façade, which echoes the surrounding landscape. Though morphological conditions have been extensively considered for the ground floor and foundations, the project is formally dominated by the roofing contour, a key feature both because the complex will mostly be visible from the topmost floors of the surrounding skyscrapers, and because the progress of the roofing outline of the building complex can create a rich and highly dynamic living landscape. Scope of Work 30,000 sqm (323,000 sq ft) of stick system façade and 12,300 sqm (132,400 sq ft) of parapet cladding.
