Although the condition is not good and there is a lot of decay visible (mostly ground level facade), this building is entirely coherent with the urban fabric and architectural requirements of the historic part of Meda.
The urban center is incoherent with the city fabric and also concerning all architectural elements in the old town core. However, its positioning and function seem to have become a valuable contribution to the city of Meda.

CASA DI RINGHIERA
In the city of Meda and especially on our chosen site - Lacuna, we quickly came to acknowledge that the “case di ringhiera” are an important part of medas residential building history and have been shaping building courtyards.
Literally translated “guard rail houses”, casa die ringhiera are characterized by several flats sharing the same open gallery on each floor. The galleries in most cases run the whole length of the building and provide access to individual housing units that face the inner courtyards. Toilets where shared by each floor with a facility present at the end of each gallery.
Historically also the groundfloor functions have been shared spaces, such as laundry rooms, storages and workshops for the inhabitants.
FURNITURE DESIGN IN MEDA
The former agriculturally dominated city of meda has seen a population growth during the industrialization as well as a shit from the agricultural sector towards a more specialized industry: furniture disign and woodworking. Former peasents becalme artisans of furniture. With economic growth picking up, meda became the center of furniture design and production in Italy. Today, some of the smaller workshops have been abandonned. However, with furniture producers such as Cassina and Minotti having their Headquaters based in Meda, furniture Design remains significant for Meda and puts the city on the Map of furniture industry in Europe.
