More than a simple seasonal shift, it reflects a deeper evolution: the house is no longer conceived as a closed, cocooned retreat, but as a porous living space in constant dialogue with its surroundings, where materials, volumes and ways of living are subtly redefined in rhythm with natural light and the changing seasons, in pursuit of a more sensitive and lasting balance.
