The house, located on the edge of the city centre, is set in a residential context at the end of a dead-end alley, where a high degree of privacy is guaranteed for family life. The project focuses on the theme of shelter and aims for an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity.
The design approach is to work by subtraction; starting with a solid volume, the material is excavated to create a single compact body two storeys high; the white plaster finish contrasts with the voids of the windows and door frames positioned on the inner edge of the masonry, creating a constant play of light and shadow. Inside, the spatial layout of the home is generated by the staircase which is placed in the centre of it and around which all the different functions are managed. The visual axes that have been defined aim to widen the space and establish a constant relationship between the interior and the exterior.
The aspect that characterises the project is represented by a double height that ends with a skylight; the latter, thanks to the zenithal light, allows diffuse illumination of the entire environment during all hours of the day and creates a direct relationship with the sky. The presence of a further window above the entrance area, facing south, allows the light to filter through, becoming a sort of clock/meridian marking the different hours of the day. Natural light has the role of giving life to the elements and materials, giving them form and transforming them constantly. The space defined by light was the real building block element.
The perceptions and sensations that the space arouses in those who live it are fundamental, the space itself lives when the person inside it takes possession of it. Man lives only when he manages to orient himself and identify himself in an environment, therefore the spaces in which life takes place must be places in the true sense of the word, distinctive spaces with peculiar characteristics.
