Aristo Home / Tom Thys architecten
Textual content description supplied by the architects. Creating readability: Belgian architect Tom Thys has given new life to the Aristo Home. This historic constructing dates again to 1914 and is located on a slope of the Trigno Valley with a unbelievable view over the hills, woods and fields of Abruzzo.
A purist and tranquil place, from nature to structure. Impressed by classical design language, the Aristo Home has been lowered to the necessities. The result’s efficient, from the unique brickwork and the clear, linear constructions of the rooms to the tender, pure colours and the easy but high-quality furnishings.
Inspiration is discovered within the work of each Andrea Palladio and Dom Hans van der Laan. The home consists of three ‘rooms’ (one residing area and two bedrooms) in a wonderfully symmetrical composition. The strategy of ‘dynamic superposition’ integrates a staircase, desk, toilet, and two mezzanines in a single meandering area penetrating the home. Readability and ease are coupled with a wealthy spatial expertise.
The inside is split into a big front room on the bottom flooring and two symmetrically organized bedrooms on the primary flooring. Each with giant double beds and a large view over the valley. They’re complemented by a toilet with a round mirror and a small writing nook built-in into the hallway.
As well as, a singular mezzanine degree beneath the roof gives guests much more area to chill out, sleep and be, which – as befits a real retreat – can solely be reached by way of a ladder. Lastly, any discount is all the time a query of group. Even the kitchen-living room, together with the fireside and couch, is freed from all sensible utensils, which could be present in two small adjoining rooms.
On this approach, ideas can drift freely by the times. Whether or not on one of many many ranges in the home, on the terrace with a really meditative view, or by the pool, which stretches out lengthy and leisurely into the panorama. The open-air bathe, which connects the pool with the constructing, is a significant spotlight of the home! On scorching summer time days, wood shutters present a delicate play of sunshine and pleasantly shady moments.
