CityLife<\/strong> is one of the emblematic neighborhoods symbolizing the urban revitalization of the city of Milan<\/em>, born after the relocation of the Milanese trade district to the new Rho-Pero area.<\/p>\n

But where is CityLife Milan located?<\/em><\/p>\n

The liberated area, situated in the north-western part of the city,<\/strong> has been transformed into a residential and commercial complex, <\/em>designed by three world-renowned architects: Zaha Hadid, Arata Iozami and Daniel Libeskind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s learn more about the CityLife Milan district<\/strong> and its distinctive features.<\/p>\n

The CityLife Project in Milan: The Three Towers<\/h2>\n
Efficiency, modernity and sustainability<\/strong> \u2013 these are the three principles that inspired the final CityLife project, with a nod to major international metropolises.<\/p>\n
What has emerged is a complex blend of public spaces and private areas, green spaces, services, venues, offices, shops, and residential spaces.<\/em><\/p>\n
At the heart of the CityLife district are the three Towers<\/strong>, which have reshaped Milan’s skyline:<\/p>\n
\n
The Isozaki Tower,<\/strong> designed by the Japanese architect of the same name, stands at 209 meters with 50 floors, making it the second tallest skyscraper in Italy.<\/li>\n
The Hadid Tower,<\/strong> reaching a height of 177 meters, is vertically oriented with a dynamic twisting motion. Once again, the tower is named after Zaha Hadid, the renowned Anglo-Iraqi architect who conceived it.<\/li>\n
The Libeskind Tower, <\/strong>standing at 175 meters, is designed as part of an ideal sphere that envelops the piazza in which it is located, hosting commercial and residential spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Adjacent to the three towers are residential spaces<\/strong>: on one side are those designed by Daniel Libeskind, consisting of eight buildings with varying heights ranging from 4 to 13 floors, while on the opposite side are those designed by Zaha Hadid, comprising seven buildings with sinuous forms divided into two areas.<\/p>\n
Surrounding the residences is Milan’s new green lung: a vast park covering 170,000 square meters (<\/strong>the second largest in Milan) housing over 2,000 botanical species. It features lawns, gardens, sports facilities and contemporary art installations.<\/p>\n
LAB23 at CityLife<\/h2>\n
At the foot of the three towers lies a spacious pedestrian square <\/strong>that provides access to CityLife Shopping District<\/strong>, a 32,000-square-meter space hosting more than 80 shops, as well as bars, venues, restaurants and seven cinemas, both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n
This extensive pedestrian area<\/em>, the largest in the city of Milan and one of the largest in Europe, includes the commercial gallery, a central square and an open-air promenade.<\/p>\n
Here is where LAB23<\/strong> contributed to the urban furnishing redevelopment of CityLife Milan<\/a> \u00a0with its iconic COCO design benches<\/strong><\/a>, designed by the ONEWORKS studio and made from HPRC\u00ae (High-Performance Reinforced Composite), a material known for its exceptional mechanical strength and waterproof properties, highly resistant to impact and weather conditions.<\/p>\n
COCO is a modular, backless, versatile, and flexible system <\/em>with simple, compact lines that can be easily arranged to create different shapes and meet various needs. The three basic elements each have the shape of a quarter circle with different diameters and can be combined in various ways.<\/p>\n
HPRC\u00ae has a smooth yet textured finish, with excellent heat and cold dispersion properties, making it very comfortable even in extreme weather conditions. It is an anti-graffiti material and, if needed, can be repaired using the repair kit provided upon request.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it’s an eco-friendly material,<\/em> made with at least 30% recycled material and 100% recyclable.<\/p>\n
