The aim was to rehabilitate a house more than one hundred years old located within the protection zone of the Asset of Cultural Interest “Old Hospital of Our Lady of the Assumption of Torralba de Oropesa”. It had to be adapted to current functional, technical and energy demands. It was decided to preserve its most significant and unique features intact—some discovered during the course of the works—while transforming the rest more freely. To this end, few but radical operations were proposed, which at the same time deeply transformed and preserved the building.

ZB House resumes the dialogue with the surrounding context, typical of the villages of Lake Como, with a sincere and contemporary architecture. The use of local stone in the parts in direct contact with the view from the outside, as if to seek protection and privacy, while the quicklime plaster for the most intimate areas of the house, creates an articulation in the volume and in the views towards the lake.

In the area of ​​Apokoronas and more specifically at the village of Gavalochori, in an area outside the settlement with a slight slope, we designed and built a two-level house with a basement and a swimming pool. The house is 511m2 and the construction time is 2019-2020.  The central idea of ​​the house is based on the philosophy and principles of feng shui, as well as bioclimatic design. The central design is by four stone walls of different lengths which divide the house into three areas. Starting from the east ground floor, between the first two stone walls, we have the living room and the dining room and the office upstairs, looking at the double height of the living room. Three orthogonal frames of different shape and size made... Meer

The project is born through the client’s desire to build a lodge completely disconnected from the frantic city life, where the guests could be surrounded by nature and enjoy the view of the spectacular.   Mountains, punctuated with rocky churches, of the Gheralta massif, in northern Ethiopia.   The lodge is designed bearing in mind the all-Italian concept of the “albergo diffuso”, which means literally “widespread hotel”. Rather than being a single large structure, this receptive form consists of multiple smaller buildings, which are dislocated along the paths and lanes that become open-air horizontal connections.    Thus, allowing the total enjoyment of the surroundings, nature and ar...

The VB House is a compact and bright villa, which offers many visual cues, with the ability to open itself without being revealed. Composed of a solid stone block that covers and protects the most intimate and private areas of the house. This solid stone block opens instead into the living areas of the house that is articulated with new volumes to create spaces in relation to the outside and attract light inside. These volumes that break the solidity of the stone block are treated differently, covered in bronze, with sunscreen panels that can be opened or closed if necessary. In the villa all spaces are visually interconnected in a spatial and visual continuum. The inclusion of the patio on the first floor with direct visual connection to... Meer
