Overlooking lake of Chiusi

The project “overlooking lake of Chiusi” is a construction of a private residence in the Umbrian countryside near the lake of Chiusi. The design idea is aimed at creating a small cluster of distinct volumes, in order to facilitate its respectful insertion into the landscape. Furthermore, the small and distinct volumes allow a natural circulation of light and air.
The volumes that make up the complex overlook the valley and onto a bright and intimate internal courtyard. It is also open to the main views of the surrounding landscape and to Lake Chiusi.

The asymmetrical pitched slopes of the roofs of the two upstream bodies allow for maximum protection and insulation to the north. At the same time the design of the flaps creates a sweet and delicate appearance. The building with the flat roof instead extends towards the valley, ending with a fully glazed solar greenhouse. This design choice will also make it possible to limit any visual obstacles from any part of the house.
The three volumes are connected by a central body containing further functional spaces and characterized by a green roof that connects to the hill. The central volume with its roof allows you to dialogue with the landscape and contain the impact of the intervention.
