Casa LV

Casa LV was born from the desire to enhance matter and volume. Located in a quiet context in the province of Venice, the structure is composed of a single volume on two floors, with contrasting materials.

From a compositional point of view, the reinforced concrete used in the portico - a material synonymous with contemporaneity - creates a relationship with the irregular brick cladding - which symbolize the construction technology of the place and the history of the house - enhancing the perimeter walls of the house.

Casa LV would like to be like a “machine à habiter” where it is possible to grasp the rhythm of time through the continuous change of natural light, filtered by the architectural elements.

Thanks to the choice of wood-aluminum windows with minimal profiles (Compact) and large fixed windows (Isos) that allow light to flood the interior spaces, enhancing the interior, natural light also becomes the syntax of the language of construction, together with the material.
