Villa-in-Barolo
上海
A rural stone villa precedent by Cibic Workshop that inserts contemporary projecting bay windows into a traditional heavy stone and clay-tile envelope.
- What we like about this project
- The upper projecting metal boxes contrast sharply against the massive, earthy rusticity of the stone masonry base.

- Geometry
- Linear two-story stone volume with a low-pitched gable roof and rhythmically spaced projecting metal-framed bay windows on the upper level.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing dry-stack or coursed stone wall with punched ground openings and cantilevered metal-framed upper box windows.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing stone masonry walls supporting timber or concrete floor and roof structures.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, long horizontal massing interacting with the topography.
- Lighting
- Late evening overcast sky with warm sunset light catching the glass faces of the projecting windows and illuminating the rolling landscape.
- Atmosphere
- Quiet and atmospheric dusk setting where heavy stone meets warm glowing apertures.
- Environmental context
- Rural rolling hillside with green meadows, scattered trees, and an open horizon under a dramatic cloudscape.
- Spatial experience
- The long facade addresses an open meadow, shifting from heavy ground-level stone enclosure to upper glazed projections capturing distant views.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stone mass punctuated by the measured, repetitive beat of four upper projecting bay windows.
