PF single family house
The PF single family house, the remodelling of an existing edifice, is located on a hill near the medieval castle of Pergine Valsugana in Italy and it's position is ideal, both for the beautiful view on the valley and the sun exposure. The design main characteristics are the structure, the energy efficiency and the continuity between the inside and the outside. The building is on a slope, there's a 6 meters difference between the street level, where the main entrance is located, and the ground level, at the end of the slope. The existing house from the 60's has been expanded with the addition of a new floor on the top. The first sketches has been inspired by the rural architecture of Trentino region; the building is composed of two constructive levels: the inferior “heavy” one, and the superior “light” one, which is covered with wood listels. The loggias, thanks to the larch wood cladding, link the indoor and the outdoor spaces, the private space and the public and rural surrounding. The layout consist in the first floor with the living room, the kitchen and the master bedroom and the second floor with the relax area. The sun light enters inside the house through a light well and from the relax room one can enjoy the landscape and practice yoga and meditation. The steel structure of the new floor is independent from the existing one: a Virendeel beam support the weight of the first floor, thus allowing a totally pillar-free floor. The high energy performance elements are: pre-assembled cross laminated timber with a wooden fiber insulation, low emissivity larch frames, heat pump, solar water panels, and a domotics (home automation) system. Most of the furniture in the house have been designed by the studio and custom made by local carpenters. In the kitchen there's an innovative cantilever table. The warm yellow colour of the larch wood has become more brownish over time, the building blend in with the landscape and became part of the hill.
