FCN 2009, Sicily, Italy : Portelle Architecture

Sicilian Building, Italy - design by M Guiseppina Grasso Cannizzo

2 Jul 2012 FCN 2009 Portelle Design: M Guiseppina Grasso Cannizzo FCN 2009, Portelle, Sicily, Italy RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Situated on the side of a hill, in a seismic area, this is a lesson in freshness of thinking, invention and in the inseparable nature of structure and architecture. An apparently solid plywood-clad box floats above the site, pitched so as to enjoy the horizon and the distant sea. It prises open by means of a movable guest-wing, mechanically operated, which slides away to reveal a terrace and a glass wall to the main house. The main fixed element of the house is constructed in prefabricated concrete. photos : Sudio Grasso Cannizzo FCN 2009 Portelle - Building Information Title: FCN 2009 Practice: Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo Client: Federica Cimatti Photographs: Hélène Binet FCN 2009 Portelle - RIBA Awards winner, 2012 FCN 2009 Portelle images / information from RIBA
