Inspired by travels, this home transports our client back to a relaxing vacation in  Tuscany – every day. It blends classical architectural elements with modern touches to give it an old world European feeling.  Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Although this is a single family residence, we designed the exterior with multiple building-like masses to surround the whole house and give it the appearance of being a place for many to stay. Guests and visitors would never know that this home is actually two remodels done in two different phases, as the exterior invites you into a home where classic Tuscan architecture blends seamlessly with modern living.

The Forum Fondazione Bertarelli originates from a thorough study of the settlement models in the inland of the Maremma plains. This 300-seat concert hall has an organic shape, perfectly self-contained and within the golden ratio, whose proportions were designed for non-mechanical acoustic amplification. From a distance as well as from close range, the Forum is not perceived as a building. Being free of openings, its rugged concrete surface with the earth tones of cement is reminiscent of a mound and fortified by wavy oxidised iron plate, which it partially envelops. Going uphill through an olive grove along the iron wall supporting the volume of the hall, we enter the foyer, one dematerialized space flooded by light where the outside landsc... Meer

The project for the extension of Cupano winery (Special Mention at the In/Architettura Award 2023 | Tuscany - New Construction) mainly considers the high environmental value of the place where it is located; thus, the main foundations of the intervention are the economic and environmental sustainability, implemented by sustainable construction techniques.  Andrea Ceriani Andrea Ceriani Here, contemporary architecture does not give an interpretation of the past but, using new technologies, it silently lies on and in the territory, gathering, selecting and transforming its resources. The goal is not to blend into the landscape profiles but to be part of it. Andrea Ceriani Andrea Ceriani The building was designed to... Meer

“Once upon a time there was a beautiful orchard where we lived happy and carefree; suddenly two humans arrived and soon after a house. They browsed very boldly in our green surrounding, eating our delicious yellow flowers and fruits, we thougth that they were destroying the environment and also all our food, endangering all the animals.  But they were also planting vegetables and bringing in the fields a lot laugh. One day, in the dusk, while all the others rabbits were asleep, we decided to get a ride in the new orchard to have a look at the house  we saw everyday from our burrows........” MEDULLA Studio MEDULLA Studio Once upon a time there were three sentient and very curious black rabbits, this is their...

The property, an antique Tuscan farm whose original nucleus dates back to 1712, lies near Casale Marittimo, a small town of the Alta Maremma, located 10 km inland from the sea. The challenge was to introduce and involve minimal and contemporary architectural elements in an environment rich in nature and tradition. The solution adopted to achieve this objective has been to maintain as much as possible the vernacular architecture of Maremma using local technologies and materials for the external envelope, juxtaposing minimal design and clean interiors. The help of local workers during the construction phase has been crucial for plugging the building in the landscape and environment context and to respect local architectural traditions. Act... Meer

KME group’s new hall in Florence is a representative environment, suitable for welcoming visitors and customers in a space which is both functional and comfortable for business meetings. The initial regular volume was deconstructed to expand the perception of space and amplify its expressive and practical capacity. A skilful play of volumes and light contrasts the orthogonality of the environment: elliptical volumes described by numerous vertical elements in polished copper intersect at different heights. The curvilinear shapes, the rhythmic repetition of the vertical elements, the different heights, all combine to expand the perception of space, making it multiform, in constant evolution, enveloping and creating an intimate, yet ope...

Casa OTThe house is located on the first floor of an eighteenth-century building, located in a small village in the Tuscan Apennines, situated on the high valley of the Sillaro river.The intervention recovers and renews the space exalting its original structure, which, over the centuries, has undergone numerous transformations dictated by the various functions that the building has received. In fact, the uses that it hosted are different: from inn to post office to tavern, up to having, after 2000, an exclusive residential use.From a first reading, the importance of restoring its original conformation to the space immediately emerged, eliminating the internal partitions, which altered the layout and the volumes.An approach as philological a...

The house was built in the 1990ies, without design ambitions. The owners wanted the interior to look ‘Milanese’, i.e. ‘ultramodern’. I decided on a complete overhaul, appreciating the space potential – 530 sq.m on three floors. This is not a weekend retreat but a family house and the aim was to create a contemporary domestic environment functional in every aspect. Travertine marble and Indonesian teak were chosen for the material palette. The design is based on the composition of simple square volumes. The custom-made furniture is integrated in the architecture of the house. A few ‘classical’ design pieces enrich the interior. The final result is achieved by the interplay of space, materials, custom-made furniture and indirect lighting. It... Meer

Context The pinewood of Marina di Castagneto Carducci was born early last century as a result of a process of reclamation of the coastal dune belt. In the late Fifties architect Giancarlo De Carlo draw up an urban development characterized by the large presence of the landscape, in which buildings, surrounded by dunes dotted with pines, oaks and myrtles, with strong character and individuality are connected by paths that follow the free conformation of the landscape. The consequence of this, but especially because a rapid process of tissue development built since the Sixties, is the heterogeneity of the architectural presence: buildings realized with quality, often characterized by the use of stone walls as an expressive character, with f...

The site is surrounded by the unique hills of Chianti, covered with vineyards, half-way between Florence and Siena. A cultured and illuminated customer has made it possible to pursue, through architecture, the enhancement of the landscape and the surroundings as expression of the cultural and social valence of the place where wine is produced. The functional aspects have therefore become an essential part of a design itinerary which centres on the geo-morphological experimentation of a building understood as the most authentic expression of a desired symbiosis and merger between anthropic culture, the work of man, his work environment and the natural environment. The physical and intellectual construction of the winery pivots on the pro... Meer
