This villa on the Val di Noto hills is meticulously designed to blend into its environment, ensuring comfort and safety while embracing local craftsmanship and natural materials.
The house utilizes a unique two-shell concrete structure allowing for temperature regulation; an external shell protects against the climate while the internal shell maintains comfort.
Incorporating local materials like red and brown pozzolan from Mount Etna, the design respects the landscape, ensuring the villa harmonizes with the warm tones of the soil.
Through a passive ventilation system using thermal wells, the villa achieves comfortable climate control, with natural airflow supported by strategically placed ceiling fans in the bedrooms.
