This house, floating on and between the rolling Tuscan hills, is like a haven in the vastness of its extensive surroundings. Gardini Gibertini Architects designed this contemporary interpretation of the Roman-Italic’ Patio House’, drawing inspiration from the immediate area with a warm and contemporary interior. Tribute to the local building tradition Surrounded by olive groves, this house occupies an entirely natural place in the environment. The materials used come from the environment or are a reference to it and form the basis of the design. Gardini Gibertini Architects: “HVP is a typically Mediterranean architecture that addresses the theme of residence in its most archaic typology and construction principles. The rigor of the compact and cohesive geometry in proportions pays homage to the local building tradition of the “dry wall,” while the wood of the curtain walls is a reference to the closing elements of the traditional rural buildings of the Monte Amiata area – the so-called “seccatoi” (drying rooms) for chestnuts, merging the building in the landscape and deeply attaching it to its history.” Delivered to the landscape Gardini Gibertini Architects: “Raised from the ground, the building is like a pavilion theatrically delivered to the landscape: it is a “proscenium”, a spatial mechanism able to admire the surrounding nature, claiming its belonging to the place and its ancient history.”
