The new construction will be a single-family villa, consisting of three levels: the basement one will be intended for the garage of the ‘house, cellars, laundry while in the above two levels will develop the house with the respective living and sleeping areas.
Leggi tuttoThis design approach is emphasized in in the treatment of the building’s openings: the south-facing elevations are visually more permeable, the windows are larger to allow as much natural light as possible to penetrate into the house, this will be screened on the first floor, by an opening sunshade system made of horizontal wooden slats.
The north elevations, in contrast, are more textural so the windows are smaller in size than the south elevation, with the exception of a large opening on the ground floor at the living room.
The decomposition into two volumes will be accentuated by the different material finishes with which the elevations will be finished: the partly hypogeal portion of the house will be finished in Moltrasio stonetypical of the area, which is ideal for emphasizing the relationship with the land and greenery where the volume will be inserted; the ground floor will be covered with a thermal coat finished with a skim coat, it will have a light color close to white; the same color but different finish will finally have the rotated volume, for its ease in assembly and almost no maintenance, the choice was to use a ventilated facade system in porcelain stoneware type slabs.
Another relevant aspect, given by the rotation of the volume, is that this generates an important shelter from the weather on the ground floor, while on the first floor the surface to make a terrace, allowing the user to experience the outdoor space at any time of the year.
