FG single family house

FG house, designed for a young family, is located in the southern part of Borgo Valsugana municipality, on a private slightly sunken ground. This area, used for playing and relaxing by three families related by blood, is green and well taken care of. From this area one can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains (Cima XII; mount Ortega), moreover the sun light is ideal, especially in spring and winter, thanks to the good position of the peaks and of the surrounding buildings. From here you can also catch sight of Castel Telvana.

The access is from Giamaolle street, the street which leads to Artesella. The landform, the absence of fencings, the good relationship with the neighbours, they all make this place “an oasis” to socialize.

The prefabricated energy efficient wood house, is characterized by a rational layout of the interiors, large windows, which allow to benefit from daylight (and enjoy the view!) especially in winter on the east, south and west sides, and loggias working as shelter from the summer heat. On the gable roof solar hot water panels are mounted with the same roof's angle so they can't be seen from below. FG house shows its energy efficient disposition, respectful of natural resources, thanks to a wood cladding made of larch planks or slats. The frames of the low-e windows are made of larch wood too. This way the house will stand out from the nearby buildings, characterized by different materials, and will blend with he surrounding nature, which will also be enjoyed from the inside.

This house is a living space where four families can meet, have dinners, play outside and chat. The aim has been to design a volume which gave a sense of hospitality and from which you could see the surrounding mountains. This goal has been reached thanks to a covered porch at the entrance, not only welcoming the guest but also working as a shelter. Moreover the porch, together with the paved roof, helps to reduce the visual impact of the main front.

Looking at the composition of the ground floor one can notice its rectangular shape including not only interior spaces as living area, office, bathroom, garage, but also covered exterior spaces as the entrance porch and open exterior spaces as the small garden on the north side. The unity of the building is expressed by the wood cladding, which ties all the elements together and allows to avoid the use of eaves and to hide aluminium gutters and drainpipes.
The house consists in one basement with a cellar and a technical room and two upper floors: the ground one consist of living area, office and garage and the first one of bedrooms.

FG single-family building: the Haptic taps in total white finish by Ritmonio make the most of the richness of the volumes of this private residence in the province of Trento.

The single-family building FG, home of a young family, is located in the southern area of Borgo Valsugana (TN), in a very green and well-kept context. From the area you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and Castel Tevana, with a great supply of natural light, especially in spring and summer.

The morphology of the place, with no fences, meant that the Burnazzi Feltrin Architecture Studio in Trento, which took care of the entire design and direction of the works, conceived the house as a space to be shared: the garden, the porch and the large living area allow you to share your days with friends and family who live nearby.

“This is why we wanted to obtain a volume that gave a sense of welcome and that guaranteed the view of the landscape - declares the Arch. Feltrin - through an architecture that does not forget the environmental sustainability and energy savings, demonstrated by the wooden structure with the inclined larch slat cladding, in full respect of natural resources. Aspects that we always take into consideration in our projects ".

The main aim of the project was also achieved through an entrance porch, which, in addition to welcoming the guest and creating a shelter, together with the practicable roof, reduces the impact of the main front.

The residence is characterized by the rationalization of internal spaces: large openings to the east, south and west to make the most of the sunshine even during the winter (and enjoy the view!), and lodges to protect yourself from summer overheating. On the double-pitched roof are placed the solar and photovoltaic panels, positioned according to the slope of the roof to ensure a minimal visual impact. The low-emission fixtures are in spruce wood, lacquered white.

The accommodation consists of three levels: a small basement area, used as wine cellar and technical room; the ground floor with the living area, a studio and garage; the first floor with the sleeping area. From the compositional point of view, the ground floor has a rectangular pattern that inscribes internal spaces, such as the living area, the studio, the services, the garage, open and covered spaces such as the entrance porch, and open and uncovered spaces such as the small garden to the north. This unity is expressed by the same material, wood, which enfolds volumes with one and two floors, eliminates the protruding pitches and hides the sheet metal and aluminium gutters.

In the bathroom, the Haptic series by Ritmonio was chosen, in the intimate and suggestive total white finish.

A stylistic imprint, the one of Ritmonio, capable of creating impalpable atmospheres, surprising for their versatility. A product that goes perfectly well with the dynamic and impactful contemporary environments of the entire home.
