azzali house
The Azzali project is a green residential project comprised of a house, an office, and a shop. A residence that is wrapping on itself and materializing a functional diagram that clearly defines a private and a public place, and a space where the two spheres merge. This private/public place is a tilted living space/floor that can serve as a conference room for informal meetings, as well as an “extension” of the living room. The tilted floor is a functional node, the building symbolic zipper. It’s a floor that is organized on different levels, with soft sitting area, a bar zone, and a reading area. This floor is a sequence of steps “eroded” by the daily use that creates an unusual “home-theatre”.
The building distinction of functional areas with independent entrances will make it possible in the future to separately sell the three units. Construction starts in 2009.
