The project for a little private house in the garden of the eighteen century villa Belpoggio-Baciocchi, doesn’t explicitly states its program. The new building appears sculptural and however changeable. The east elevation is massive to not interfere with the daily uses of the villa and its monumental façade. The living spaces face the south-west, with large windows overlooking the woods and the hills. A new mineral landscape overlaps with the natural surroundings. The architecture “mocks” the hill with a tilted surface, repeatedly folded to define a continuous and surprisingly domestic space. The garden is a place of discovery as much as the 80sqm pavilion divided into a succession of forms and moments. Continue reading homu

Here we can find some open spaces of sociability and others with a more intimate atmosphere. The attitude of the project is to integrate and transform the traditional typologies into a contemporary way. The building complex is composed of pitched roofs. Continue reading Marchi Architectes

The idea of a loop comes from a circle‐formed running court, where the terrain is orientating the runner, who can then focus purely to the substance.
In this round form museum the substance is art. An exhibition space is not the right place to navigate: the museum needs to lead the visitor towards a perfectly clear experience. Continue reading anonymous entry
