The historic rural family house, remodeled in the mid-70s, turns into a modern, single-family house with a 'pensieve' and a panoramic terrace on the upper floor.The design philosophy was to transform the original introverted and dark building in the interiors into a house all facing the outside, bright and open, with new views towards the garden, the architectural emergencies (baroque church of Santa Venera della Madonna delle Grazie ) and natural landscapes. This has been achieved, yes, by significantly modifying all the elevations and giving a new connotation outside the house, but with the desire, to keep the original internal structure legible and enhance, typical of many spontaneous rural buildings scattered throughout the Marsala coun...

The volume of the villa is built on strict geometry. The key architectural accent is the courtyard that provides both privacy and exposure to light. The task was to create a private space surrounded by greenery and exposed to light, taking into account that the area is small, building on neighbouring plots from three sides and only one side looks at the forest. The villa is a two-story building with open terraces and a flat roof. The house is placed closer to the plot border so that most of the territory in front of the forest could be turned into a park. The maintenance block is located along the plot border, and the residential building adjoins it through the courtyard in between. The open terraces of the ground and the first floors face... Más

The house reinterprets an historical countryside typology space named porta morta in contemporary terms, defining a hollow space that becomes the fulcrum of architecture.Two side wings help to ground the house in the plot: they slide on each other by a transparent double height passing through which links and connects the spaces of the bedrooms / studio on the first floor through an hanging balcony.The porch as a solar diaphragm and jasmine canopy configures the open-air extension of the living room, while the first floor rooms extend the house towards the landscape.&nbs...
