The design of this private home in Magliano, in the province of Lecce, is an example of contemporary architecture that manages to combine modernity and sustainability. The choice of a rectangular body with the major axis oriented east-west is strategic not only to maximise exposure to natural light, but also to promote environmental comfort inside the home.
The minimalist design, characterised by simple lines and square volumes, integrates harmoniously with the rural context, thanks to the use of natural stone, which gives warmth and a sense of belonging to the place. This choice of materials is not only aesthetic, but also represents a homage to local building traditions.
Furthermore, the use of sustainable materials such as hemp lime bricks underlines the project’s commitment to environmentally friendly architecture. This solution not only improves the energy efficiency of the home, but also contributes to the indoor air quality and the health of the inhabitants, reducing the building’s overall environmental impact.
In short, the project strikes a balance between aesthetics, functionality and sustainability, thus responding to modern needs to live in harmony with the environment and enhancing the local heritage.
