Now I know the Tissellistudioarchitetti apartments weren't directly based on the classic video game, but it sure feels that way. What appear to be Tetris blocks are actually a series of ramps and recessed patios. The first two levels of the condo are dedicated to parking while the top two contain the 28 separate living spaces.
What I like most about the ultra modern Tissellistudioarchitetti apartments are the absolutely enormous patios attached to each unit. Often if you move into a new condo, you get a tiny little balcony--if you get one at all. Modern Italian living is something I think I could get pretty used to.
