House on the Stream by Andrea Oliva

A family home surrounded by nature in Castelnovo, Italy.
To the borders of the country of Castelnovo Sotto, between the stream Morella and a roman road, in a landscape context characterized from channels, ditches, rows, shrubby stains, gardens, villas and agricultural houses it places the "House on the Morella". Its topological value is defined by its relationship with the road and as an integral part of the landscape; this is achieved through the enhancement of internal and external viewpoints and through the interaction between solids and voids (porches and windows). The relationships between architecture and landscape, closeness and distance, public and private and the observer and the observatory are also considered.
