The house on the Ibleo plateau is a pure architectural work that that recalls Mediterranean<\/strong> motifs, and which aims to blend into the captivating Val di Noto<\/strong> landscape in Sicily<\/strong> that alternates between the typically brownish yellow, soft hilly scenery, and the intense blue of the nearby Mediterranean. It is a villa that, in many ways, reminds us of that faraway house in Samos designed by Aris Konstantinidis<\/strong>, evoking the typology of the typical Mediterranean house. It is characterised by its delicate architectural language that takes into consideration the surrounding landscape. The project has an intense capacity to indicate a coherent way of living with a concept that integrates the elements of the building with the man-made nature.<\/p>\n

The house, a pure volume, is for the most part closed off — with respect to the surrounding agricultural land — to shield a more intimate space inside of it. This space is the courtyard, where the main areas of the house open up and come together. During the day, the sunlight and shadows travel and stretch across the space that opens to the outside at two points: at the end of the rural Val di Noto landscape, and through a smaller opening at the access point to the lot. Sliding metal frames positioned at the two courtyard openings perform the function of protecting the space without compromising the view.<\/p>\n
