In the heart of the Brera district of Milan, high above the bustling cafés, high fashion boutiques, and a towering Renaissance castle, architecture and design studio Piuarch has planted a garden. Unsurprisingly for a studio known for its collaborations with fashion houses like Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Fendi, and Givenchy, as well as its participation in the Venice Biennale of Architecture, their approach to the garden has been one of innovation, discovery, and imagination.
