Renovation and enlargement of a private house in Faenza, Italy by Bartoletti Cicognani architettura e design

Thursday, July 23rd, 2015

The building was originally a farmhouse, built before 1938. It is now subjected to a design-based zoning constraint, with the obligation to keep all its architectural hallmarks unchanged: the simple roof cornice, tiny and without boxed eave; the narrow window frames, which allow the interior to receive as much natural lightning as possible; the spare red brick columns. There must not be any TV antenna, no decorum of any kind, no more than a few undecorated fireplaces and only subtle colors should be used for the plaster coating.

The entrance court envisioned as a part of the street on which the 20perch site forms the end block, defined by the continued building lines of the adjoining plots, the random rubble vertical envelope and pergola horizontal plane, serve to contain, pause, experience the powerful shadows the sun paints, overwhelm, announcing arrival.

They are simple sky-reflecting concrete and glass cubes framed, or rather camouflaged by vegetation.

Pascal Grasso conceived a spacious vacation home that reinvents outdoors living in perfect harmony with the environment – a contextual architecture designed as an adapted response to the surrounding geography, landscape, climate and light.
