Casa della Meridiana, Residential building in Milan, Italy.
Casa della Meridiana is a residential building in Milan featuring five floors with progressively smaller terraces and expansive windows overlooking a private garden at Via Marchiondi 3. Each floor contains one apartment accessed by elevator, replacing traditional grand staircases and prioritizing modern living comfort.
Giuseppe De Finetti acquired the land in 1924 near the ancient Garden of Arcadia and completed construction in 1925. The project reflected the architectural renewal that Milan experienced during the 1920s.
The building reflects the Novecento Italiano design philosophy through its clean lines and generous windows framing the garden below. Residents use the stepped terraces as private outdoor extensions, embodying the residential ideals of 1920s Milan.
The building sits on a quiet street in Milan with good public transport connections and nearby parking options. Its design makes navigation straightforward with elevator access, offering comfort for both residents and visitors passing through the area.
The building's name comes from a painted sundial created by artist Gigiotti Zanini that decorates its exterior walls. This artistic touch gives the modern structure a personal, almost poetic character that surprises many visitors.
