004 Private House by A2BC

Posted by on Dec 18, 2012 in ARCHITECTURE, ITALIANS DO IT BETTER

From the outside, 004 Private House by A2BC fits comfortably into its small plot on a hillside, but the rustic quality of the residence is met with a minimalistic modernism on the interior. The stone façade and black window frames complement the earthy tones of nature, and a small path of stepping stones leads up the hillside of Cinque Terre in Liguria. The expansion project of a farmhouse and barn features white plaster interiors and furniture to match, all the while preserving traces of the rural lifestyle in the exposed rafters and gabled roof. A modern strip fireplace and a built-in bookshelf are simple adornments that befit the easy, quiet lifestyle of the home’s residents.
