Casa Cedrini is the consequence of a complex relationship between art and living, responding to a client brief that included the presentation of an extensive collection of African art. The void in section that cuts through the various levels of the building, terminating sinuously in a rooflight, is used to articulate sequences of spaces that introduce a sense of movement in a design that is volumetrically and geometrically severe. The role attributed to light accentuates the quality of the individual environments, enveloping the physical nature of the building fabric. The light is diffused, calibrated (and can be modulated) and projects the living sphere beyond the solid confines of the domestic walls to create atmospheric settings suspended between sky and earth.
