Metrogramma Superspazio From Milan, Italy
This 200sqm Milan Superspazio was made in 2007 by Metrogramma architects. It’s a living room as big as a house or a house as welcoming as a living room. Downstairs is the actual living room area.

The project was metaphorically imagined like two dancers in step, each dancer holding its partner but still looking beyond one another. The buildings were so built that they’re quite distinct even if they share a common plaza. […]
