Single Family House in Vittoria. 

The project is an intervention in an enclosed plot in the historical centre of Vittoria. It develops the idea of a habitat articulated inside an inhabited garden. Here the internal and external living spaces follow each other in progression. The garden can be interpreted as a continuation of the house, and the house as an extension of the garden.

The demolition of the existing building, structurally damaged and irreparable, is an obligatory choice in order to carry out this intervention: the creation of a family house for a large family. In addition, the project has taken into account the requirements of the government department for conserving and maintaining architectural heritage (the Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici) regarding the preservation of the existing façade.

The intervention involves the creation of a simple volume, set back from street front, and supported by the edge of the plot. On the inside are the most private parts of the house, the night area and a piano room. The space on the lower floor hosts the living room, kitchen room and dining room.

The project interprets through space the different family dimensions spatially, convivial and the individual, providing a counterpoint between the planimetric and visual continuity of the shared spaces, both internal and external, with the more intimate and enclosed private spaces.
