These walls are central to the project, as they define both the internal and external spaces. An entire spatial system of volumes and voids stems from such a perspective. The internal environment is thus extended externally while maintaining definition.  Image Courtesy © Nicola Probst Architetti

At the core of the project is the main apartment’s large living room, which is a void bor-dered by a swimming pool, a terrace, a mineral garden, and a service area. The main apartment has three levels, and it dynamically embraces two smaller apartments. The stoneware-lined façade is characterized by retaining walls and large, inclined pillars to address the statics along the main side. A heat pump, together with photovoltaic and thermal solar panels, guarantees energy sus-tainability.
