Age-friendly housing strategies for Milan, from urban site studies through to facade detailing and interiors.

My Master's thesis at Politecnico di Milano asks what it takes for people to grow old in the neighbourhood they already live in, rather than being moved out of it. The project proposes age-friendly housing strategies for Milan and follows them from an urban-scale reading of the site all the way down to facade detail and interior layout.
