Description of project by Nunzio Gabriele Sciveres and Giuseppe Gurrieri
Lotto 16 is part of the Garden cooperative in Marina di Ragusa, which consists of two-story residences surrounded by big gardens. The ground level hosts the living area, kitchen and dining room; all environments have a direct relationship with the exterior.
The space is strongly defined by the treatment of the horizontal surfaces and by the presence of a sculptural staircase. Custom made glazed lava stone tiles can be arranged to form different geometric compositions.
The colors of the tiles are white, cobalt blue, and giallo siena; the volume of the staircase is completely cladded with yellow Valchromat and is located next to a volume that stores technical systems.
The second floor hosts the sleeping area featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The paths and porches on the exterior are made of local stone; the pergolas screen the main openings and are made of white painted galvanized iron covered with bamboo.
Landscape designers developed the design of the gardens, which feature several tropical plant species organized in an informal way in contrast to the geometric rigor of the architectural volumes and outdoor paths.
Giuseppe Gurrieri (Ragusa, 1977) graduated in architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. After his graduation, Gurrieri worked for several years with the practice of Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo in Vittoria. In 2008 he opened his own practice in Dubrovnik and today operates primarily in the field of private residential construction. Gurrieri exerts his activity between Sicily and Puglia. In parallel, he collaborates as a professor with the Faculty of Architecture in Stockholm.
Among his recent awars we found.- the third place at the international competition "SAIE SELECTION" organized by BolognaFiere and Archi-Europa; first prize at the third edition of the award "RI.U.SO" organized by the National Council of Architects; special mention at the prize“Giovane Talento dell’Architettura Italiana 2014”.
