House in Brione

Responding to the chaos of the urban sprawl, the design for a residence in Brione introduces a complex spatial configuration into the simple geometry of a cube.

Light is filtered in through strategically placed openings.

Two simple cubes emerge from the hill associating more with the natural landscape than existing building.

Habitable spaces are generated as cavities within the interiors of the cubes. Light is filtered into the interiors through strategic openings and through the courtyards.

Two large openings, with wooden grids serve as moveable gates.

The water of the swimming pool, embedded in the cube facing the valley, visually merges with the lake.
