_ prospetto sottotetto / attic layout
Project for luxury single house on the
outskirts of Novara. The property layout
shows two distinct volumes, separated by a
cone-shaped central body. The two lateral
volumes are symmetrical, while the one
in the centre serves the axis that supports
the entire complex; its height, significantly
greater if compared to the sides, makes
the entrance stand out, inviting the visitor
to enter. The property back-side elevation
shows a higher percentage of empty
spaces. This ensures a balance between
spaces and volumes, making the entire
structure more slender. Indeed, this project
plays with shapes, with contrasting vertical
and horizontal lines, with the balance
between volumes and voids, in the quest
for the perfect synergy of environment
and architecture. The planks used for the
external façade are made of wood dust
mixed with special waterproofing resins;
they are painted with clear and bright
colors, and are up to 4 meters in length;
mounted on a metal structure, they create a
distinctive geometrical effect.
