This project expertly interprets the concept of the home with a pitched
roof – in accordance with building regulations – with a markedly
contemporary approach. There is an unusual, experimental solution
adopted for the ceramic cladding, which entirely covers each vertical and
inclined surface to create a monolithic, mono-material and monochrome
architectural style – one that blends in flawlessly with its natural
surroundings. The structure itself and the meticulous attention to the finer
details mean that the compositional, performance-based and application
potential of the cutting-edge porcelain stoneware used is fully realised.
