House for the future with ancient techniques in Sicily

This house recovers the idea of continuous construction. It was an entrance for a private competition in Sicily and also a challenge for us.
The low-tech design is based in the construction of the southern walls separating fences made by the greeks stone by stone. Bringing the wall into the house and creating a volume buried in the landscape is the key to this project. The most attractive issue is the fact that everything made in site is by the same way, stone-by-stone wall.
One wall creates everything surroundings, landscape and the inner spaces.
