Entry Description

Our project begins with the purpose of maintaining the existing nature, the need to achieve privacy from the access road and to guarantee views from the valley. For this reason we decided to submerge part of the house and float the rest over nature. In this way we get a house completely hidden from the outside and at the same time respecting the existing trees: the access is hidden from the street and half buried in the mountain; however, on the opposite side, the house flies over the valley and the nature. It's a project that seeks NO invasion of the environment and respect for the nature.
