Residential House
The morphology of the land, its orientation as well as the slope with which the fund is offered to its south side have determined the idea of the project that is a house of compact form whose spaces are distributed on three residential levels and a technical floor and service. The vehicular and pedestrian accesses to the property take place at the same level of the road, on the second floor on the north side. The garage is so included in the volume of the house, immediately adjacent to the entrance of the house. To the side, an uncovered yard provides an additional parking area for visitors. A service access is also located on the cellar floor, and is guaranteed by a ramp/stairs coming from the garden. On this level there are storage rooms, a laundry room and the technical room. The ground floor, that is the floor open to the garden, hosts the living area, an eat-in kitchen and a small service. Going up one floor, in addition to the garage and the entrance, there is a study area. On the second floor we finally reach the sleeping area, consisting of a double bedroom, two single bedrooms, a wardrobe and two bathrooms. The internal vertical distribution is guaranteed, as well as by a staircase, by an elevator that serves all floors. Particular attention was paid to the orientation in order to ensure a visual relationship with the garden and the swimming pool below. The South facade has been privileged with large openings and two covered terraces, one on the ground floor with direct access to the garden and one to the master bedroom on the second floor. The East and West facades have small and punctual openings, placed in correspondence of the internal rooms. The roof of the building consists of a flat roof. The load-bearing structure is in exposed reinforced concrete with internal insulation. The heating system is guaranteed by an air-water thermopump that distributes heat through coils on the floor. The windows and doors in natural aluminium and the other plants, of traditional type, complete the description of the finishes of the building.
