Casa Ricotti surprises those who look at it: partial hypogea, it seems to arise from the context in which it is inserted thanks to a force that determines a vital architectural solution, full of dynamism and movement. Its formal autonomy, almost monumental, goes hand in hand with declared intention to integrate into the landscape. The house itself becomes a landscape in the choice of replacing the roof with a "green tongue" in continuity with the surrounding nature; or, again, in the desire to reduce the footprint on the ground, inverting the grammar of weights and volumes. The result is a perfect balance between the elements and the total at the same time, a surprising combination for its spatial solutions and pure in the alternation of authentic materials such as concrete and wood. With its clear and essential design, Villa Ricotti seems to be a sensory experience in a timeless architecture.
