Italian term or phrase: casa affacciata
La casa di via Marchiondi a Milano (1949-54), affacciata sul giardino interno di un grande isolato, si costruisce anch’essa sulla differenziazione figurativa dei prospetti quasi a confermare l’idea di una sorta di tipo della casa affacciata.

Il tema dell’edificio affacciato ritorna anche nella casa alle Zattere a Venezia (1953-58) che neial prima ipotesi di progetto costruisce l’affaccio sul canale della Giudecca riproponendo il tema del loggiato già sperimentato nella casa al Parco.

Any idea of a good way of putting this idea? I'm struggling to find a way of putting it which doesn't feel clumsy.

Thanks very much
