History

LDA.iMdA Architetti Associati designed this house. It completed in 2019. The project served as a prototype for eco-sustainable dwellings. It supports cultivation of a vegetable garden. The house received the BigSee Architecture Award 2020.

Architecture

The structure presents a contemporary, minimalist form. It utilizes prefabricated wood panels and glass. An ecological polyolefin sheet clads the exterior. Tubular aluminum and steel form the frame. Structural technology adapts from greenhouse construction.

Setting

The house stands in San Miniato, Pisa, Italy. Rural Tuscan landscape surrounds the site. It is set amidst an orchard. The structure raises on stilts. This minimizes landscape impact and solves hydraulic issues. Sunlight filters through the orchard leaves, marking the day's passage.
