Casa Comolli-Rustici, Rationalist residential building in Milan, Italy.
Casa Comolli-Rustici is a seven-story residential building in Milan with an angular composition at the intersection of two streets. A four-story section extends the structure, creating a double-faced facade with clear horizontal and vertical lines throughout.
The building was constructed between 1934 and 1938 as a commission from the Rustici family to house middle-class renters. The project by Pietro Lingeri and Giuseppe Terragni exemplified new Italian construction that merged function with modern form.
The building reflects Italian Rationalism of the 1930s through clean lines and functional spaces that shaped how residents lived. The strict geometric forms remain visible in the facade today, showing how modernist design once changed the way people inhabited their homes.
The building sits at the intersection of Via Guglielmo Pepe and Via Cola Montano, visible from both street sides. The facades with windows and balconies are clearly seen from the sidewalk, offering good viewing points from different angles.
The building appears as two separate structures connected by suspended balconies, yet operates as one coherent complex. This visual effect was achieved through the strategic placement of shadows that separate the two parts visually.
