After Snozzi, Galfetti, Vacchini, Botta and many others belonging to the same generation have changed international architecture, the Swiss Canton of Ticino keeps on producing remarkable architectural works. Davide Macullo established his own studio in 2000, after having worked with Mario Botta. The three houses featured below further the modern tradition of Ticino by inserting themselves into the landscape and interpreting the genius loci, while adding some more formal freedom and sensual atmosphere.
Carabbia is a little village of approx 600 inhabitants. It rises on the western side of Mount San Salvatore slope in a beautiful bowl.
This building responds to the owner’s wish to live in an intimate space, as if it were a shell.
Carved in a clear square geometry, the spaces meet the slope and extend in a spiral – fluent movement that constantly changes the perception of the space and its relation with the exterior, offering privileged views towards the beautiful landscape of the region.
This small house (13x13m) stands for a sequence of experiences condensed in a continuous space that gives a sense of protection and, at the same time, of being projected into the landscape.<\/p>\n
