Clad in masonry and metal, it reads contemporary yet composed, with geometry tuned to light and the wooded site.
A Villa in the Castelli Romani sits in Grottaferrata, Italy, reimagined by Studio Tamat as a modernist house attuned to light, material, and daily rhythms.

Built as a retreat, it now reads as a lived-in home, open yet grounded by stone, wood, and crafted details.

Casa patio casa patio is a compact house in Valencia, Venezuela, reworked by Piano Piano Studio.
