Casa Bendico by Le Penhuel & Associés Architectes
Casa Bendico, designed by Le Penhuel & Associés Architectes, is a villa nestled in the Val di Noto hills of Italy. Completed in 2024, this house draws inspiration from local farms, featuring a heavy, mineral structure coated with cement to blend into its forested surroundings.
A bio-climatic, energy-independent design, the house utilizes a shuttered concrete double shell with red and brown pozzolan from Mount Etna, contributing to its thermal efficiency and integration with the environment.
