Set within an agricultural landscape defined by cultivated fields and vineyards, the house extends horizontally in harmony with the terrain, establishing a direct relationship with the open space and the passage of time. The project stems from a single compositional gesture: a continuous roof that—through folds, slopes, and subtractions—defines the building’s identity and organizes the spaces beneath.
It is not merely an enclosing element but a generative principle capable of creating a sequence of indoor and outdoor environments. The architecture unfolds through a succession of thresholds, porticoes, and sheltered areas that guide the transition from the landscape to the domestic realm, making the relationship between inside and outside an integral part of the living experience. The various areas of the house are defined by the interplay of materials and volumes.
The entrance section, clad in sheet metal, establishes an initial access threshold, while the main volume—constructed of cast-in-place concrete—extends beyond this filter. A continuous horizontal band links the two parts, unifying the composition and emphasizing the building’s horizontal character. The expressive power of the exterior geometry gives way, on the inside, to a quieter, more seamless environment.
The texture of power-troweled concrete, warm-toned surfaces, and furnishings in deeper hues define a minimalist space where material variety is pared back to foster a unified perception. Furthermore, the relationship with the portico amplifies this continuity: large openings project the domestic space outward, transforming the threshold into a connecting element rather than a dividing one.
