Luxury modern concrete house in Trento Timelapse

This luxury modern concrete house is located on a hillside overlooking Trento, between a residential urban area, characterised chiefly by detached houses, and a green agricultural area and woodland. • The residence extends towards the northeast with a shell of concrete shielding the structure from the aforementioned urban area whereas, to the southwest, it opens up completely to the surrounding countryside. • The abstract volume of the building fits into this rural context with simplicity and a kind of formal rigour, a horizontal structure emphasised by the presence of a dry-stone retaining wall which slopes towards the valley floor. A combination of two very material elements, one artificial, the other more natural. • The volume recalls a balancing act as the structure retains its equilibrium across a slope created purposefully by modelling the plot into two distinct spaces, a private garden above and a somewhat more open green area below. The building rests on the former and overhangs the latter. • From the road, the structure presents itself in a rather introspective and essential manner. Solid concrete forms that dialogue with the surrounding trees, planted at various levels, along the road, between the walls and in the garden. The boundary wall represents a kind of “threshold” between a residential urban area and natural open spaces. Beyond the wall, you pass through a series of closed spaces, that act as “filters”, that finally open up through large glass windows onto the surrounding landscape and the valley. • --------------------------------------------------------------------- • Architect: Studio Raro Architetti Associati • Location: Trento, Italy • --------------------------------------------------------------------- • View full project: https://bit.ly/2QrqZmv • Visit our site: http://88designbox.com
