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.

In order to achieve an agile, light and unexpensive construction system, the structure uses a varied range of technologies, from a structure in eucalypt trunks, roofing in industrial thermo-acoustic tiles, pre-molded slabs with ceramic blocks and concrete beams, and masonry and large glass closures. The project’s focal elements are the integration with the surroundings and a clear definition of the intimate and public areas. Therefore the living spaces and service areas are on the first floor. On the second floor there are the bedrooms and two multipurpose studios, each with its panoramic balcony.
