NICOLAI HOUSE
House is located in southest of Rome and it's characterized by new modern spaces with minimal furnitures, specially designed for client (as living room furniture with fireplace and for TV, kitchen furnitures, bed room wardrobe, etc). Modern furniture has been completed and integrated with ancient roman baroque furniture of client property as: two chandelier, gold consolle with mirror, bath washbasin, etc. Thus the solution is based on the contrast between innovation and antiquity, between minimal and redundant and complex form.

A fractal village
The project is inspired by the concept of enclosure, designed as a boundary between the interior and exterior, between inside and outside, between a chaotic city and an inner, sheltered courtyard. The system behind the layout of the village is inspired by a fractal formula, the Cantor function (Georg Cantor 1845-1918), which represents an example of a continuous function that grows to infinity. It is a system of expansion which, although unlimited, does not proceed in a linear fashion. On the contrary, it develops on the basis of centrality and takes the name of "Cantor dust" . Applied to architecture, the mathematical principle highlights an unlimited expansion of the city, at the same time retaining the architectural element of the courtyard. The latter, which is a part of our tradition, in this case takes on extreme conditions to reach the size of a metropolis. Above all, however, the wall becomes an element that protects the living space from any flooding, which occurs increasingly in our country and is often the result of heavy rain or overflowing rivers.
-
M VILLAGE
Village M was created at a workshop organised by the Order of architects in Turin and by the OAT foundation with the technical sponsorship of the Gandelli House Company.
The aim to immediately provide homes in response to natural catastrophic event was one of the salient aspects of the problem. Work was carried out in synergy with the municipal administration of Turin and with the civil defence, with the intention of organising and guiding the citizen initially during and after a probable catastrophic event. -
THE ABODE OF THE OUTSIDE
The shape of this 80 m2 house is organised into a grid spanning 3.0x3.0 metres, which occupies the entire plot. The pure, geometric shape (the parallelepiped) is simple, seeing that this, like all our other projects, is not based on the search for an architectural form.
They have also been designed as recycled, 6 cm-thick, insulated aluminium panels (with low environmental impact), which can modify the space and change the perception of it in a relatively short space of time, passing from total closure to an absolute, complete opening, and vice versa. -
CHECK HOUSE
Optical illusion and disorientation are the terms that characterize this project. The purpose induces reflection in the passage between one space and another, between one environment and another. The structure, entirely made of wood, is self-sufficient from the plant engineering point of view. A large cistern placed under the construction allows to recover rainwater that can be reused for domestic use through a sewage system.
-
INFLATABLE HOUSE
The completely transparent structure follows the shape of a traditional house, based on the principle of modular design. In fact, it consists of three inflatable parts, three shells measuring 2.5 m wide, 2.3 m high and 2 m deep. The modules are fastened to the ground via a system of steel platforms, which are assembled together via zips placed so water cannot penetrate inside the space. Once the length of the house has been decided, each module is completed with infill panels, in which a window or a door can be cut as required. These final elements guarantee ventilation inside the space and feature a system of lateral zip closures.
-
LINED HOUSE
In this project the search for optical illusion and movement is underlined through color. Black and white stripes surround the entire house, creating a place strongly dynamic and, at the same time, arousing a state of instability of perception towards the observer. Black and white are among the primary colors of the history of art and architecture, starting with rock painting up to the bichrome of the Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals present in our territory.

ABSOLUTE BOX
This self-sufficient emergency house features two steel, structural frames, coated in white sheet metal, inside which an envelope is inserted made of fire-resistant, honeycomb cardboard held together by ecological glue and covered by a transparent, breathing film. The envelope ends with two sliding transparent glass walls (or sash opening). The structural frames interlock to allow the house to be “detached” from the ground and, therefore, to avoid problems of humidity. Furthermore, they also act as a brace for the outer shell. The latter has also been designed with a system of self-supporting, interlocking panels (the roof is supported by the structural frame).
