The architectural office ‘Sundaymorning’ by italian architects Fabio Candido and Massimo Fiorido Associati works on architectural, urban and graphic design, covering multiple levels of discipline. Their new project was created by the occasion of renovating a poorly built summer residence from the mid-sixties, surrounded by pine wood and dunes. The limited range of materials – travertine marble cladding, plaster, teak wood – gives continuity to the horizontal planes inside and outside and helps to integrate the building into the landscape. Providing a comfortable refuge from the outside world, but also paying respect to the landscape, in which buildings with strong character are connected by paths that follow the free conformation of the landscape. Color and shape harmonises beautifully with the surrounding landscape, forming a perfect relationship and balance between the internal and external space. Finished with lovely details, like the staircase, which can also be used as a shelf.

I feel that there are some nice details and moments in the design. The materials are beautiful. But overall, it is a shame to have such a nice proerty of pine trees, and to even build around it to save such trees, only to build a sarcophagus. There is no connection between inside and outside, so the enjoyment of the trees is nearly negated when you are inside.

Going to have some serious trouble building so close to those trees (I presume the trees were there first).
Besides which, the house is out of context with the site.
