The “dream of a living house” is the aspiration for a space that is not just an inanimate container. But a dynamic and pulsating entity, in tune with those who inhabit it. It is the desire for an environment that breathes. To conclude, one that evolves with the seasons and life experiences, a place that nourishes body and soul, a living that goes beyond mere functionality. Especially one that creates an emotional bond with the space and contributes to the well-being and happiness of those who live there. In particular, it is the search for harmony between man, nature and the built environment. Ultimately, this dream manifests itself in different facets.

Connection with nature, such as large windows that frame the landscape and gardens that extend like an extension of the interior spaces. Use of natural materials that bring the texture and scents of the outside world into the interior.

Fluidity and adaptability as environments that transform according to needs. Movable walls that create new configurations. Multifunctional spaces that accommodate different activities throughout the day.

Well-being and comfort such as healthy materials, natural and well-designed lighting, pleasant acoustics, ventilation systems that ensure fresh, clean air, creating a regenerating atmosphere.

Personalisation and identity as a space that reflects personality. The tastes and history of those who live it, through the furniture, objects, colours and details that tell a story.

Sustainability and respect for the environment such as the use of environmentally friendly materials. The focus on energy saving. The creation of a virtuous cycle that respects the planet.

Spaces that nurture relationships as convivial environments that encourage meeting and sharing. Intimate corners that invite reflection and recollection. Flexible spaces that adapt to different family and social dynamics.

Technology at the service of mankind as home automation systems that simplify everyday life, manage lighting, temperature, security intuitively and integrate harmoniously into the environment.

“I pursue the dream of a living, versatile, silent home, one that continuously adapts to the versatility of our lives, indeed encourages it. With a hundred resources that we architects will teach, enriching it with light walls and furniture. A variable house, simultaneously full of memories, hopes and courageous acceptances. A house “to live in” in fortune and also in melancholy, with what is motionless and faithful, and with what is variable and open, and opening its windows until the sun and moon and the other stars enter it, and everything is movement, those who go down and those who go up in the mystery of growth, and who knows what they will see. And turning to you I pursue the image of a new human society. This image is not an unattainable mirage, and it is up to us to dream of it in order to reach it because nothing has come true that was not dreamt of before.‘ [Gio Ponti - 1973]
