The Idea
The idea is the start of the creative process, its fundamental content, around which the entire project develops. It comes from all that is inspiration for our imagination: not always when you go looking for it, but sometimes it arrives by looking at a simple object, a photo, a journey, a new color, or any detail not necessarily relevant to what we're going to create. It is that beautiful moment in which thoughts are thrown about in bulk, in which the mind is absent and dreams, imagining situations, albeit often unfeasible, that try to be organized in a short space of time. What I strongly wish to convey to my client from the first moments so that he can share with me the beautiful design journey is a love at first sight that makes you dream and gives joy and enthusiasm. When the idea became clear, the imagination already sees the finished product, and it is from here that my narration begins almost like a fairy tale, bringing the recipient by the hand in a constant manner within each choice, up to his complete realization. When the job is done, I always have with me that wonderful feeling of having finished a new journey together.

TRULLO - Ceglie Messàpica (Puglia-Italy)

Swimming pool
In a rural context where the olive trees are the absolute masters, an ancient trullo with four cones, extremely rare in its kind, flanked by a new extension structure, has been entirely renovated in full respect of its peculiarities.
The restructuring has taken into account the fundamental principle of the monochrome characterized by the local stone, used on a large scale both outside for the walkways, and inside, and of the natural context so that nothing could interfere with nature and the whole was perfectly integrated, as if it had always been there. -

Single-family Villa (2015)
"The house into a mountain."
-
I
In a hilly context, where the "residential" presence is rather sporadic, the idea of inserting a residential element that is the natural expansion of nature is born. -
II
In the imaginary, the new presence, consisting of a family unit, aspires to be a natural extension of the hill itself, striving for a dialogue between nature and man. -
III
The visual impact is idealized, it is imagined as discreet and natural as possible. The language is simple in its clean lines.
The planned housing unit is in continuous interaction with the outside through the only open front, consisting of a window without interruption, and shielded by a rhythmic arcade with the explicit task of interrupting the sun's rays. -
IV
The roof is made up of a walkable turf interrupted by a few turrets aimed at lighting the rooms behind.
