About Cascina Gerola
In the Chiaravalle area of Milan, this cohousing project brings residential life back to a historic rural complex dating to 1578. The mood is practical rather than flashy, with a clear focus on shared living, green space, and rebuilding a place with roots in the city’s agricultural past. It suits residents who want a quieter city setting, a collaborative setup, and a home with a stronger sense of context than a standard apartment block.
The project includes 64 housing units across 5 buildings, with around 4,500 square meters of residential area, 400 square meters of common areas, and about 25,000 square meters of green space. Homes come in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom layouts, with options for units with or without a garden, split-level homes, and loft-style apartments with mezzanines. Residents are supported by a designer consultant for choosing unit size, finishes, and furnishings.
- Energy class A3
- Geothermal systems
- Photovoltaic panels
- Home automation
- Radiant heating
- Thermal insulation
The shared spaces sit at the center of the cohousing model, built to support everyday contact and constructive relationships between neighbors. The site also carries a clear redevelopment purpose, restoring a former agricultural and dairy complex under environmental preservation constraints while giving it a new residential use for both future residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
