Description:

The task respects the development and the redesign of a ranch in the Sicilian slope, on the slants of Volcano Etna. The configuration exertion meant to regard the current structural planning and in the meantime to hunt down a worldwide picture. A few components of the neighborhood custom become an integral factor, making numerous purposes of contact in the middle of old and new: straightforward structures and couple of materials connect with the authentic setting.

The patio nursery

The main line of the scene outline was the development of the traditional Sicilian garden by rearranging structures and reordering plant characters. The current patio nursery, wild and unkempt, was described by a solitary space in a consistent slant and in this manner not practical. It was important to give another request to the vital components: the plant embodiments, the parkways of association, the level patios and the shady ranges.

The fundamental section – a street covered close by made stone – resumes the ground of an old way. Going through two centuries-old cypresses, it advisers for a few green porches – bound by slim edges made of corten steel – and prompts the new veranda.

The veranda

The veranda – made of steel profiles and glass – is a little building developing an old grinder, where they used to prepare the grape: the compulsion collaborates with the chronicled brick work on account of the corten earthy shading. The exceptional viewpoint is the sliding development of the rooftop that offers drastically variable space, degree of safe house, daylight and protection. It is about the capacity to differ or interface the general building organization and character as indicated by season or climate. Amid the wintertime, it will be conceivable to close the building, on account of the energy of the rooftop, the glass windows and the turned dividers. Amid the mid year, the entire structure will be open, banishing the detachment in the middle of inside and outside.

The pool

Before landing to the veranda, the parkway touches the last patio, expressly not the same as the others. Its shading is clear – expansive and solid chunks of white stone – and houses a huge “limitlessness” pool that delivers a decent visual impact reaching out to the skyline, vanishing and stretching out to unendingness.

The estate

The task includes the redesign of a 600 sqm (6,458 sqft) manor, dispersed on three levels: the cellar comprises of the passageway and neighboring rooms, the ground floor with the primary lounge rooms and, at long last, the first floor highlighted by a substantial open space.

Specific consideration was paid to the space parcel. The heap bearing framework comprised in a workmanship structure and hence was described by huge inside dividers checking the inside space. Rooms were little and isolated by limited entryways.

The idea planned to make an expansive and remarkable space, a center for the entire house. Along these lines it was imagined the thought of suspending the vaults to free the range underneath from the inside allotments. The mediation, strenuous and fragile, is accomplished through the insertion of a steel truss, covered up under the rooftop and associated with the vault by tie poles. The outcome is astounding: the substantial focal chimney is totally suspended from above, as the four neighboring vault.

All the inside dividers are done with characteristic lime skimmed, by, in an unpredictable way. The dividers are not painted to stress the magnificence and validness of the material. The outside are made by “cocciopesto” – a kind of regular mortar – with a specific end goal to save the recorded historical characterization.
