COMPLETED A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE FOR A COUPLE AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN. responding to the client’s need for durability and low maintenance, the architects have designed a CONCRETE

STRUCTURE WITH TWO VISUALLY CONTRASTING FORMS: ONE DEFINED BY THE SAME CONCRETE AND GLASS, AND THE OTHER BY A THIN SCREEN OF CORTEN SLATS THAT DIFFUSE DIRECT LIGHT AND OPEN IN LARGE SECTIONS

TO CREATE SEMI-PRIVATE EXTERIOR ZONES OUTSIDE OF EACH BEDROOM. the brief also called for large open spaces, as the family frequently entertains guests and friends, which led to a the

organization of open-plan social areas. bedrooms are located along the south-eastern wing of the home behind the corten lattice wall, enjoying plenty of sunlight and views over the terraced

yard and pool. a linear hallways stretches the length of the building along the east-west axis embedded into the hillside. a skylight runs along the northernmost partition of the corridor

washing the wall with light throughout the day. linear terrace outside of the bedrooms image © daniele domenicali swinging corten panels create semi-private spaces image © fabrizio caudana
