Livramento House / Mezzo Atelier

Livramento House was designed by the architects of Mezzo Atelier to shelter an English couple and their six dogs. The house reflects the practical and easy-going lifestyle of its residents, with a serene location at the top of a deep slope and covered by native vegetation. The team of architects used the typology and materiality of a nearby ruin to design the new construction: an existing lava stone wall was used to anchor and support the proposed volume.
