We like thinking about this house as a transposition on our territory of a Californian Case Study House of the 1950s and 60s. The structure is of course adapted to the local climate and landscape, but the spirit that generated this design is that of simplicity and of being self-confident with the place as it had been for those so famous houses.  Houses in Monticelli Brusati
 Houses in Monticelli Brusati The shape of this house is born from the juxtaposition of the internal spaces, thought for its inhabitants and not to express a specific artistic or architectural language. The great pyramidal skylight of the living room, the curved porch protected by wooden brise-soleil and the curved stone wall of the southern external space act as counterpoints to the main volume and generate a feeling of ‘place-making’, fusing with the landscape and giving identity to a series of spaces that have as their principal aim the quality of life.  Exterior View Key materials: local hard stone for the external walls, Oak for the internal paving, gray sandstone (Pietra di Sarnico) for external pavings, larch wood for brise soleil.
