The house is built on a small lot within a residential
area of expansion in the territory of Urgnano (BG). The project site conditions
are interpreted to generate dissonance and denying direct view to the outside.
In a context of typological and stylistic multitude, the volume of a
rectangular oriented parallel to Via Basella, reduces to a few gestures the mute
relationship with the outside.
The anthracite concrete box, raised a meter and a half off the ground, only
allows one entering: the entrance, backed also by a slight bending of the glass
wall that divides the porch.
Outside what is not concrete is glass, which is delegated to the diaphragm, not
only between inside and outside, but also between the two different interiors
of the house and the porch.
The bounding rectangle base is juxtaposed to the extent of the pool, the only
element not contained in the box.study name: MATTEO CASARI ARCHITETTI project name:ABITAZIONE PRIVATA URGNANO (BG)addres:VIA BASELLA S.N.city:URGNANO (BG) ITALYdesigner: ARCH. MATTEO CASARI e ARCH.
