GLC house
Arona
Awards:
Located on a hill, facing the Lake Maggiore, the villa has been built over the footprint of an existing house and the articulated volumes down the hillside connote it. The aim of the project is a spontaneous connection of the architecture with the natural context and the original conformation of the land. He whole building projects toward the beautiful panorama; big glass walls allows for generous natural light and the enjoyment of the view. From the street level only one floor is visible, as the house deploys along the slope towards the lake below. Along the side of the villa, an external staircase connects all levels and leads to the big swimming pool and garden. Local stone matches with concrete and plaster to create vibrant surfaces.
In collaboration with ing. Fabrizio Barbieri.
