Villa

In the organization of the high area of Alcamo, Sicily, where old buildings encroach into being new building along the high ridge of the City, looking at an urban designed by time, by history, tradition and recent plans, the family of an artist and sculptor, in October 2005, decided to make its registered population. A house can be a place of residence, gathering and conviviality for the family, which contain and express the values of contemporary life derived from the traditions transmitted from the old Magna Grecia. The project includes the basic functions of the house, beyond which are confirmed guests welcome, friendly gatherings and family run newspaper, veiled by a respectful privacy in the performance of body care, relaxation, study and any other expression of the family table. The project was entrusted to the Studio Arnaboldi Associates Architects & Partners, which has a stated objective to emerge, with attention, and around the contour of a part of Alcamo in the process of renewal, enhancing the role and the full ' contemporary image of the man's house. The entire design team is led by architects Mario Antonio Arnaboldi, Francesca and Laura Ammaturo, operating now for some time through their studio in Milan, with the collaboration of architects glue ¬ Borini Francesca and David Benini, as responsible for coordinating the various Study areas. The house itself has a sense of balance and space is dictated to new social behaviors. Very clear that the project achieves ¬ to satisfy this urgency to leap from tradition to the future. The idea, generated by the tension of the hooks with the past, creates vitality unique work of art that combine the common feelings. As your attention to the function of a design house that made Walter Gropius in 1927 the house Weissenhof. The application of its strict rationalism has managed, over time, to teach and live poets ¬ cally. Observe the architecture as something that evolves over time and over time is described in the change of its behavior ¬ ment in her own space, you think, so poetic art of building, but above all the events able to transform ¬. The advent of new transformer manufacturing technologies is a tangible example of the symbiosis of engineering, is the new, quietly building up language of industrialization. The project research those balances of matter capable of new forms for architecture: you can see, indeed, in its articulation of space, the desire to fit in some more. Clearly the effort to relate the shape with new construction techniques, looking for a formal structure that can bring out the surface through a plasticity not usual. The choice, then, swimming pool made entirely of glass has become the dominant component of the intervention, in relationships with the city, allowing a view from above of Alcamo. In fact, his being completely suspended from the ground and its total transparency and give the sensation, swimming, losing the sense Barico and swim over the city. The fountain pool becomes for recycling and water purification and at the same time, a huge lighting fixture throughout the garden around the house. Another factor in the quality of this architecture has all its values in materials and technologies that make it up: it is the roof top terrace thermal cover, made of alternating modules tilted the glass to solar panels. So he heats the hot water needed by building solar panels, and deliver and distribute water for the cooling of the roof, allowing a respectful and careful management to good use the different sources of energy.
