The house, located on top of a not much, great slope area just out from the urban centre, is conceived as a hermetic box towards the entrance while it is as a glass-box towards the country where an existing trullo is utilized as a “dépendance” for guests. The residence, just one level, accommodates a maximal program - three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living and dining rooms with additional spaces - by a minimal formal gesture. The lower level is characterized by a little wine-storage.
 
La casa, situata sulla parte alta di un vasto lotto poco pendente appena fuori dal centro abitato, è concepita come una scatola ermetica sul lato di ingresso ed assolutamente aperta verso l’area di lotto dove un trullo esistente è utilizzato come dépendance per gli ospiti. La residenza, unico livello, soddisfa un programma massimo - 2 bagni, 3 camere da letto, un’area giorno_pranzo,cucina, area lavanderia - attraverso un gesto formale minimo. Al piano interrato una piccola cantina completa l’opera.
