Guest House in Bologna, Italy by Enrico Iascone Architetti

Friday, July 6th, 2012

Article source: Enrico Iascone Architetti

In a forest of oaks, ash and maple trees, on Bologna hill, in a place of large naturalistic beauty, on a steep and chalky land, rose a small warehouse beside a private house. At its place today rises a small hosts house on two levels, conceived like a modern architecture adapting itself to the landscape with innovative and contemporary style. A compact volume embedded in the land that takes advantage of the characteristics of the ground and the place.

Article source: Rizoma Architetture

CasAbate is a “bridge house” and is located in one of the more fascinating street of Bologna. It has the typical characteristics of the old house of the city center; there’s a very long corridor, about 20 meters, and a little courtyard. The new project has the aim of improving the space of the corridor, the light comfort and the energy efficiency of the building.
