Sicilian architects cottone+indelicato provide an example on how you can transform buildings with no architectural value into artifacts of contemporary architecture integrated with the sicilian landscape.
The residential building object of renovation is located in the outskirts of the town of cianciana, on a lot with a gentle slope, facing the agricultural landscape.
The design concept is the sobriety of the volume and the dialogue with the nature. The building relates to the surrounding landscape with a contemporary language that recalls the mediterranean architecture.
The external areas of the project are structured by a series of plans that relate themselves with the existing topography. Each of these platforms, settled to a different level, absolves to a specific function: the belvedere terrace at the level +0.00m., which is the main level of the house; the barbecue area at -0.45m. And the swimming pool solarium at -0.90m.
