Philosophical house

"We would say that Capri has been the victim of an exceptional injury, caused by the same predilection whose fate would have it covered: the issue being that the place is well loved, and that, just like all the people to whom suffer the same fate, it is at risk of becoming hopelessly conventional and mannered". Capri is only a small rock made of dizzying sheer cliffs and one of the tips of it, Punta Massullo, the project was born of a reversible space, a home for intellectuals philosophical, not for a single developer, a space not fully defined, but a constantly evolving environment. The project is part of a landscape of enclosed spaces where life moves outdoors, tables are laden under the sky, nature, domesticated, contributes to the wealth of space. Cultures kept climbing and bricked walls of the boxes become festoons of flowers and festive to celebrate the richness of the place. The house is elongated in the ratio of 1: 4, oriented on a north-west, south-east, following the topography of the place, enclosed on three sides by walls and on the fourth by the rock that slopes down towards the sea. The inside of the box is only visible from above, rejecting the idea of the facade appears as a monolith from the sea, only in some places reveals its nature of casing cement, an essential envelope, wrinkled, abstract, almost impassable.
