Casa Bianna

The house is made up of two concrete volumes that blend into the territory. Both volumes of different sizes are locked to the terrain by the extension of the retaining walls that define them, modifying the topography of the terrain to be integrated into it. The two volumes are joined together by the access ramp, which becomes an autonomous outdoor space, a part of nature that has been isolated and appropriated by man.

The main volume hosts the housing programme and the other one, the garage and technical spaces. The dwelling contains the living room treated as a porch open to the landscape, the kitchen with its toilet and laundry room, two bedrooms separated by a courtyard, two bathrooms, the master bedroom and on the upper floor as the end of the route at the level of access to the house from the road, we look out from the studio over the landscape that we have left behind when we entered the house.

With a project of this type, a structural system of retaining walls and reinforced concrete enclosures has been chosen to resolve the vertical structure, and reinforced concrete slabs to shape and adapt the horizontal structure to the terrain, so that the house is part of it.
