Immersed in the Prosecco vineyards of the Treviso area, this building is the result of a careful regeneration project: first a glacier in a villa, then a deposit of ammunition during the Great War. To fit into this context, a recovery of the existing is foreseen which, together with a new intervention, amplifies it’s natural specificities. The result is a balance of volumes and transparencies.
Casa Luis is a residential house for a young family of six. Their desire for the best view and light, for privateness and generous open spaces was as decisive for the design as it was the morphological composition of the terrain, exposure to sunlight and building guidelines.
The project involves the architectural recovery of a rural house in the Mantua countryside with expansion.
The historical part houses the living area composed of a kitchen and the living room on the ground floor (in the former barn) while on the first floor there is the sleeping area with bathrooms.
The extension instead includes all the accessory functions such as garage, laundry room, boiler room on the ground floor while on the upper floor it becomes a large terrace overlooking the countryside.
The request of the owners, a young couple, was to build a house that could reflect themselves and was appropriate for the modern rhythms of a family.
The main problem of the apartment, located on the third floor with a terrace, was to be organized in a very fragmented way, with an oversized entrance, a closed kitchen and a dimly lit living room.

Italian architecture firm MoDusArchitects www.modusarchitects.com presents its recently completed TreeHugger, the new Tourist Information Office building of the city of Bressanone (Bolzano, Italy), and winning entry of an international competition held in 2016.
Located just outside the historical centre of the South Tyrolean city, adjacent to the Bishop’s Palace of Bressanone, the eye-catching concrete building is the last episode in a series of “architectural homicides” dating from the 1800s up until the 1970s. TreeHugger takes on the qualities of airiness and levity in alignment with the site’s antecedent structures, which were dedicated to the welcoming of visitors, with their respective features of slender columns, deep loggias, and delicate overhangs.
A+V Family House is the latest project in Livorno, Italy completed by MODO architettura + design Studio, which consists in a total renovation of a building from the 30s-40s of the last century, consisting of two levels above ground, a basement used as a cellar and a roof terrace. At the time of the intervention, the property was devoid of valuable elements and with a distribution of spaces to make it more functional to the customer’s needs. Originally the rooms were all clearly separated, the roof terrace was difficult to access and the bathrooms were two but obtained in the same room.
What we tried to do, during the first inspections, was to catch the hidden beauty of this property: some types of flooring, very high ceilings and the large roof terrace.
The customers’ need was to carry out the entire development of the house on the first floor, obtaining 3 bedrooms, two different bathrooms and a large living area consisting of a living room, dining room and kitchen.
Il Riccio (The Hedgehog) is a pavilion where books are shared. It is built in Piazza Pinto, the central park of Gioia del Colle. Designed by PROFFERLO Architecture, the pavilion functions as an urban landmark where it provides a sheltered space to exchange books.
Il Riccio is dedicated to Michele, a book peddler who played an important role in promoting a culture of reading books within the mid-size town of Gioia Del Colle (Bari) in southern Italy. He sold second-hand books for a few Euros, entertained his customers with stories and advised them on the right choice of book. When he passed away, the local community decided to keep his cultural activity alive with a book sharing facility in the main garden of Gioia del Colle, exactly in the same place as Michele’s stall.
