Duplex House in Cureglia
The project deals with the relationship between inside and outside, between architectural space and environment. The visual and spatial continuity between day area and external space is expressed through the use of large square full-height windows and through the big transition space of the porch, covered but external.
Walls and slabs are made of wood; the house was built using the prefabrication technique. There is wood-block flooring, while the inferior face of the slab is left natural. The material of all horizontal surfaces is wood, vertical planes are characterized by the colour white.
The building’s structure (walls and slabs) is made of wood. The outer surface is coated with untreated Nordic larch boards, disposed vertically. The boards’ utmost height is 6 meters, their width 9 cm; the board’s size has been used as unit for the project.
