Because privacy is a primary concern for this client, studio di Architettura Francesco Cattaneo’s designers sited the residences deeply into the property and near the edge of a forest. This set up a beautiful, rolling approach and a relationship between the residences and an open pasture. The road curves to reveal an almost startling view of the tall, vertical end, the upper section covered in standing seam metal. Any reminder of Modern architecture’s pointed bars and flying buttresses is strictly intentional!
