Briefly

Three Courtyards House / Balsa Crosetto Piazzi
"The house manifests itself on the street as a long and austere brick façade, evoking the sensation of entering a courtyard."
"This architectural gesture creates the impression of being immersed in a larger space as if the house itself were contained within a more expansive courtyard-following a nested logic reminiscent of a matryoshka doll."
The house presents a long, austere brick façade to the street, creating a strong, closed frontage. The façade evokes the sensation of entering a courtyard by implying an internal, sheltered space behind the wall. The architectural gesture fosters an experience of immersion within a larger spatial sequence, where successive layers of enclosure expand inward. Scale and materiality emphasize containment, suggesting the house sits within a more expansive courtyard. The spatial arrangement follows a nested logic reminiscent of a matryoshka doll, with layered volumes that reinforce privacy and depth.
