A house turns its back on the road to open up to the landscape
The single-family house project designed by Elena Gianesini engages in a dialogue with the Vicenza landscape, combining tranquility and contemporary style through essential geometries and the Mazzonetto metal roofing.
The main atrium leads to the two offices: one for a law firm and the other for a studio of architects. The space for lawyers follows a different order: the profession needs more privacy and hierarchy. On the contrary, the space for architects is an open space to let designers interact in the creative process. The colors are reminiscent of the soil, are local and reproduce the shades of the surrounding landscape. The choice of materials and openings are influenced by the humid climate of Surat. Natural ventilation and the optimization of natural light are eco-sustainable choices of this interior design. The walls are of plastered lime that provides thermal comfort, and it has been used of regenerated wood as an aesthetic choice that goes well with the surrounding plants. The faded wood mixes contemporary design with the local one.
