Healing Circle is a community health centre, conceived as a place of care and a catalyst for the urban renewal of the peripheral Gallaratese neighbourhood in Milan. It is imagined not only as a building, but as a place where architecture itself becomes an instrument of well-being. The design moves from the urban scale to the construction detail, merging functionality with sensibility. Its form and spaces embrace the soft qualities that nurture the individual, while the façade acts as a recognisable skin that ensures comfort, privacy, energy balance—a silent presence that invites and protects.
