A house in the Alps… sounds cozy, romantic and promising. This house breaks the mold and goes against expectations quite a bit, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting.
Italian architect Alfredo VanottiVanotti) recently completed his latest project, Casa VI. The house turned out to be unusual, to put it mildly. Let's start with the fact that it was built on the ruins of a previous building in the town of Sondrio, in northern Italy. One of the building materials used in the construction were cobblestones found in the area.
The internal filling includes three materials:iron, concrete and wood. The interior turned out minimalist, a bit harsh and, in our opinion, rather cold. However, the result was probably approved by the customer, which means that he is completely satisfied.
What I would like to draw special attention to isThis is concrete, which, thanks to the production technology, resembles the texture of bleached wood from afar, so it is difficult to tell at first glance where one is and where the other is. In essence, this is a holiday home, and will most likely be used by the owner as a platform for contemplation.
As door handles and fittings the authorused leather cord with a knot at the base, all the upholstered furniture is represented by a bed and a bean bag chair on the second floor, but the strangest thing is the bathroom: concrete sanitary ware with wooden covers. Alfredo Vanotti claims that most of the interior items are made according to his own sketches, including that very sanitary ware. Well, we are impressed.
