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 space is formed of 100 panes of glass to allow experimentation with the latest technological innovations from the Japanese company. Glascene™ and infoverre™ are based on the concept of transforming large glass walls and displays into communication media and creating a new relationship between information and glass, in a departure from conventional digital-signage concepts.
Glascene™ is specially treated glass that allows images to be projected or retro-projected onto a transparent surface with excellent quality and clarity levels; infoverre™ was born by combining a slim liquid-crystal display with a glass surface to guarantee high definition, even in large formats.
