Text description provided by architect.
Drawing upon the Mediterranean spirit that defines its surroundings, Casa Tintoretto reimagines interior space as a dialogue between organic forms, and materiality expression.
Rooted in place yet open to reinterpretation, it revisits regional architectural typologies: arched passages, a close connection to nature, and the use of local materials, to craft a home that feels both timeless and contemporary.
This sensibility is expressed through a series of architectural gestures that explore the boundaries of domestic spaces and emphasize open, permeable environments.
The new plan embraces organic geometries, unfolding as a series of semi-open, interconnected spaces that blur the boundary between different areas.
A built-in bench runs along the primary axis of the house, anchoring the layout and accentuating its linear rhythm.
A sequence of arched thresholds is paired with custom masonry planters and terracotta sun breaks, subtle echoes of the sculptural staircase railing and an homage to Mediterranean craft traditions.
