场地面积:497平方米 基底面积:133平方米 建筑面积:221平方米 Site area: 497 sqm Building area: 133 sqm Total floor area: 221 sqm 这个住宅是一个巨大的单体结构,静静地弥补并回应着周围的传统景观。四周是有特色的传统石造房屋,大多数有着百年历史。新建筑是对这一特色的呼应和现代诠释。屹立在镇子边缘,这个住宅仿佛一座城堡,连接着旧容和新貌。 Located in the Swiss Alpine village of Lumino, just north of Bellinzona, this house stands as a monolithic element, quietly complementing and echoing its context. The surrounding area is characterised by traditional stone built houses, many of which date back centuries and are marked by their use of this single construction material. The new house is intended as a relevant response to and contemporary interpretation of the vernacular; its exposed reinforced concrete form recalls the revered strength and resonates the presence of these old stone houses. Sitting on the edge of the old village, the house acts as a sort of bastion between the old core and the modern residential expansion.
