House at the Schopfacker
The striking landscape of the village of Trogen against the distinctive backdrop of the Appenzell region always demanded a compact settlement structure. The place is characterized by stately homes.

This makes any new building stand out in such a small village, especially when
Klostergasse Studio
After having worked in an old workshop for fifteen years in Dornbirn, I overcame my inner resistance and built a studio for myself and my staff. On more than one occasion during my walks through Bregenz, I noticed near the train station a small derelict building plot with a transformer station that was no longer in operation. With a bit of luck, we were able to purchase the small
New primary school “Dante Broglio”, Colognola ai Colli
Following the hilly profile and the presence of the ideal axis that connects the places of collective life in Colognola, we developed the imprint of the building which is characterized by the compactness of the external front as opposed to the irregular opening of the internal fronts that draw the space of the garden. This dichotomy is also expressed by the coating materials. The external front, already rigid in
Villa SP, Venice
The particularity of the area suggested a building intervention that re-proposes, in the current interpretation, a residential building that can be traced back to an architecture that respects the surrounding natural environment and with references to traditional forms and building techniques.The project therefore aims to the realization of an essential and sculptural architecture through the modeling of a "monolithic" volume where, the external brick wall facing, with light lime plastering,

The small town of Ciglié is the village chosen by a couple of Rotterdam to get a place in Italy where they could live some months of the year. The 110m2 house is built on a steep slope of 2000 m2. The building appears embedded in the slope of the hill. The volume, closed on three sides, unexpectedly opens out to Mondovì and the Alps. A single large window towards
A&A house, Sarginesco
A&A house is the result of an intense reinterpretation process of an ancient rural building existing in a small urban centre located in the heart of the countryside of the city of Mantua. The old building was demolished, but the new one keeps its memory alive thanks to the archetypal form that recreates its form and reminds us of its nature. This is done through both through the arrangement of

Seafront House in Crete, Heraklion, Crete
With a plan generated by a precise geometry and a section informed by the level differences between the entrance road and the beach front, the impression on arrival is of a house carved out of the landscape. The building is separated from the road by a series of descending gardens, a buffered gorge offering quiet respite, shaded with an arched pergola (incorporating the buildings structural bracing). Descending the stone
