The project of house VT represents a prototype of a house that tries to present itself with a different approach to architecture and construction in the residential area of the Padana plain.
The ordinariness of the context in which it is located represents the real strength of this house which, in its small way, becomes the manifest of a sustainable philosophy of nowadays architecture.
The cluster of different architectural languages of buildings built in the context with traditional systems become fertile ground for expressing a different point of view where this project attempts to propose a simple architecture by adopting sustainable construction principles that pay attention to the concept of circular economy.
The composition of this building is rooted in the architectural principles concerning tectonics and stereotomy, that is the design archetypes that refer to the concept of "cave" and "hut".
A regular base welcomes the noblest spaces of the house on the ground floor and, at the same time, supports a small volume in the shape of an "elementary house" which represents the sleeping area on the first floor.
The attention to the orientation of the building influences the internal distribution of the spaces which follow a clear subdivision along the east/west axis represented by the figure of the staircase.
