A country house is anchored to the horizon line, where the bank of the Tresinaro torrent stands as background and scene of the environmental field. The project reinterprets the typical dead door of the Po Valley in contemporary terms, defining a hollow passing space that becomes the fulcrum of the architecture.
The volume is enlivened and deformed by two side wings that help to root the house in the plot, without over-extending the living area and simultaneously constructing the topological hinges of the composition of the interior and exterior spaces. The wings are connected by a transparent space on the ground and internally at double height, which connects and links the rooms/studio spaces on the first floor with a gallery balcony.
The open space on the ground floor places the kitchen in the south-west corner in continuity with the staircase, the TV room in the north-east corner to leave the space for the domestic hearth and living area at full height.
The south porch as a solar diaphragm configures the open-air extension of the living room, while the south east projects the house towards the embankment and merges it with the lot. The wall experiments with the concept of the opening as a system of inflection points within the same uninterrupted continuous surface, which reduces its thickness until it disappears.
Two continuous surfaces (roof and walls) meet and disappear into a single element, the glass surface.
