Capalbio Barn House / Carola Vannini Architecture

This new construction is composed of two parallel buildings located at the bottom of a Tuscan olive grove. The house is conceived as a filter that melds with the surrounding outdoor space. The sliding doors open toward the garden and are in-line with each other to allow visibility across the building in every direction. A spacious and monumental corridor delineates the house along its length, focusing attention on the swimming pool and the symbolic cypress on opposite sides. The night area is divided into two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the long porch that flanks the house and leads to the pool.
