Innovative Residential House Design | Casa Binocolo by Fabio Ferrini Architetto
Project's Summary
The Casa Binocolo project, designed by the architectural studio of Fabio Ferrini Architetto, is an innovative residential house divided into three floors. Situated on a challenging terrain with unique morphology and adorned with valuable vegetation, this project encompasses an area of 300 square meters. It is nestled between two streets of varying levels, with a ground slope of 60%. The primary objective of this project is to respect the natural conformation of the area, both in terms of its section and existing vegetation.
The basement of the house is a compact rectangle measuring 4.5 x 13.5 meters, totaling 60 square meters. This space has been dedicated to the creation of a small independent flat. The rest of the house comprises two distinct volumes that are raised above the ground, allowing for the growth of trees in the void created underneath. This unique design approach not only enhances the aesthetics but also fosters a harmonious integration with the surrounding vegetation.
The front of the house facing Tana's street features a driveway that runs alongside the street, providing convenient access. The ground floor, which houses the living room, kitchen, and dining room, is situated 0.50 meters higher than the adjacent street. This deliberate elevation not only offers a sense of privacy but also provides a vantage point, allowing residents to enjoy panoramic views of the surroundings.
To emphasize the structural identity of the building, the basement will be finished with concrete. This choice not only showcases the robustness of the construction but also adds a modern and industrial touch to the overall aesthetic.
The Casa Binocolo project showcases the architectural prowess of Fabio Ferrini Architetto. By carefully considering the challenging terrain and existing vegetation, this project successfully integrates into its surroundings. The suspended volumes and elevated ground floor not only contribute to the unique design but also offer an enhanced living experience. With its focus on preserving the natural beauty of the area, Casa Binocolo stands as a testament to the harmony between architecture and nature.
