Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Effebi House in Tuscany, Italy by ARCHITETTURA MATASSONIJune 10th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal

Freedom from mechanical life-style inherited by our cultural evolution, from the analytical reasoning that industrilized our lifes, and freedom from the alienation and fragmentetion of our time and space. So, how to be faithful to these high principles working inside a simple architectural box?  The livingroom around the corner, Image Courtesy © ARCHITETTURA MATASSONI

Physical limits, money, client's will. We think the answer could be a space that could comunicate on a deep level of perception; following the Edward Wilson's ideas about human evolution, it should be an environment capable to call to memory the feeling of a psychologically comfortable natural space, like something primitive we already have inside our self, like an heritage older than every cultural superstructure we built. So we focused on those fundamental human needs concerning the “ ancestral shelter”; this means an essential architecture and a space, devoiding of sophistications. An artificial fluid micro-landscape suitable for living innately.

The client's brief program included a whole living area composed by the entrance, the livingroom, the diningroom, the kitchen with a small storage. Going on, through a wardrobe-distribution space, we find the night-area comprehensive of three bedrooms and twoo bathrooms. Because of the common property of the perimeter walls, they couldn't be modified and we have had to image this space as inside an untouchable box.  Architectural shape like a micro landscape: the night-area’s sliding door and the enveloping soft sitting, Image Courtesy © ARCHITETTURA MATASSONI  Floor and ceiling meet: there is no wall!, Image Courtesy © ARCHITETTURA MATASSONI Despite the delicate existing structural masonry (protected by very strict rules to ensure the building against the earthquakes), we designed one whole and organic environment for the living-area, obtainable realising a wide opening in the main internal wall. To make the most of the surface, using the smallest amount of money possible, we also decided to use plasterboard panels for the mostly: this is a cheap material but very adapt to make the complex shapes we wanted. Indeed the purpose of the project was to create a very fluid space by using enveloping surfaces.

We wanted to create a surreal space. To achieve the goal we let rise the wood floorings on to the walls and the ceilings go down, creating the narrow cuts in which are settled the strips led for the lighting. Using these sculpted shapes, we wanted to call to memory the feeling of a natural space, focusing on those fundamental human needs concerning the “ ancestral shelter”.
