a house to enjoy
An ecological and committed architecture, powered by photovoltaic energy, with underfloor heating and insulation made of natural materials. An infinity pool connects the garden and the house with the river, creating a continuous plane of turquoise water typical of this area.
The living room is a large volume with a fireplace, a built-in sofa embraces us and shapes the space. These elements create a unique intimacy, where all the power of the landscape penetrates through a nine-square-meter window. Another window directly illuminates a library in the depths, creating an almost theatrical atmosphere of chiaroscuro where scene and observers merge.
The limestone construction connects with the building traditions of the area. Each volume creates a typology of space, some become caves where one can take refuge without losing connection with the environment and others are completely fluid open spaces, which function as a visual transition between different areas of the garden.
The dining room’s protagonist is the large table with capacity for sixteen people comfortably seated. The unique piece, designed by Bruno Mathsson based on the super-ellipse in the 1960s, is revived for this completely permeable space. The dining room functions as a threshold between the entrance patio and the pool.
The kitchen, fully equipped, creates an area to share an aperitif in a casual way around the wooden and ceramic table. It can also be converted into an open space and transit at the time of a large party that requires greater movement between the dining room and the west patio.
The workshop is a sensory watchtower, open to the landscape and to any use. It can easily accommodate a yoga class, a ceramics or painting workshop, a cinema room, a meeting room. When you open the window it becomes an extension of the garden where you can enjoy a cocktail at sunset, watching the sun reflected in the waters of the river.
