The residence is the result of a project that aims to develop a calibrated and essential graft with the landscape, in a strip of land with a high landscape-natural interest that still retains the autochthonous peculiarities. Located on a hill, the property is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and follows the natural slope towards the sea: a sequence of terracing, contained by dry walls and cultivated with olive and carob trees, fades to the horizon to embrace the sea.
The property integrates perfectly with this natural setting, enhancing it and respecting it at the same time: the building measures a low environmental impact, both from a purely aesthetic point of view, and from the point of view of energy performance.
The core feature of the project is the retaining wall clad in stone: an element of further terracing, it agrees to a jump in altitude to allow the structure to be interlocked with the hill slope. In addition, it contains the stairs that link the two levels and becomes the main facade of the residence which, due to the roof-garden roofing, is integrated into the context. The same logic of attention to the historical sedimentation in the built landscape governs the choice of obtaining two courtyards on the north side that are born by subtracting a portion of the land.
In plan, the spaces of the house are organized assuming the geometric regularity and the equivalence of the perspectives of overlooking which guiding principles: the living room-kitchen and the part used as a laboratory overlook two large holes in the courtyards to the north and towards the sea to the south, such as to create an opening towards the landscape that seems to cross the internal space of the house.
The property is located in the heart of a protected and protected landscape, on a hill that embraces a pristine and high value countryside, where the rigor of silence, privacy and tranquility prevail.
Yet you are just a few minutes drive from the most important centers of historical, artistic, cultural and naturalistic interest: the Mediterranean beaches and the seaside villages of the coast, the UNESCO baroque centers of the Val di Noto.
Moreover, we are located in a strategic point from the point of view of the road network, thanks to the rapid connections both to the two Sicilian airports of Comiso and the international airports of Catania, and to the major road arteries.
