The House of Glass

Info Contacts:

Ing. Paolo Del Debbio - info@casadivetro.com

The House of Glass is an envelope made of glass and a slender stainless steel structure that makes you a participant of the rhythms of nature, rhythms punctuated by sunlight, the sunrise and sunset are always before your eyes. There is the 360° view of the world from the circular sofa-bed. The shower acts as hot water rain, the bath as a hydro massage under the rays of the moon. The fragrances of the various plants growing inside creates the flavors of life, soaps, shampoos, oils, perfumes. The smells circulate of cheese, mushrooms, delicacies, sweets, the flavors of wine, champagne... the five senses in contemplation of existence.

The House of Glass as an ancestral approach to the world, where the direction of the Earth axis is always detectable where the position of the sun is identifiable all year long, the tubes of the structure pointed towards the Polar Star. In starry nights it is possible to see the firmament rotating around the continuation of the tubes.

Perfect continuity between inside and outside

Ground floor with a teck planking similar to a deck

 

The exterior planking surrounds the house and continues uninterruptedly inwards. The glass walls rest upon the planking, the interior plants with roots planted directly into the ground grow through the wood-block flooring. Mezzanines with timber beams and glass, the shelves. plants, teak, finishes, other furnishings and various objects including pictures, hanging clothes etc. combine to improve the acoustics and limit the reverberation of sound.

The House of Glass has also a basement area with internal access from folding hatches under the spiral staircase, the hatches are multicolored, like petals that open up to the passage of the glass and stainless steel spiral staircase. There is also an external access from the external paving with a mechanical fixing that hides the stone walls and terracotta treads. And then we access to the basement floor with its teak boards like upstairs but surrounded by bioengineering structures made with wooden poles filled with stones, breathable dry stone, smelling of earth, which contain and hide the light structural elements. Here under the decking is the technical heart of the CDV: heat pumps, lithium batteries, water pumps, the well... but mostly it is the pantry room of the house that supplies the inhabitants with the secrets of the world: the odors of blue cheese from raw milk drying with species and aromas of the forest, of wine, of hay... and bottles of wine and champagne refine in the half-light marking their strictly biodynamic nature, their ancestral nature.
