| Summary: | "The twin houses of San Martino di Castrozza constitute the beginning of an activity
that led Bruno Morassutti to engage with the Alpine theme throughout his activity:
at the beginning there were the two small, twin houses (1954-1957), then he moved
on to a large family holiday home (1957-1958), both with Angelo Mangiarotti, and
then he experimented with the “Fontanelle” in the 1960s. The traditional stylistic
features in the houses of San Martino find a balance, a grace and an elegance that,
over sixty years later, do not cease to convince. The restoration of San Martino is
measured in a balanced relationship between empty and full, in continuity with the
elements that characterize the alpine architecture and the wise use of the materials
offered by the territory: wood and stone. The two buildings, identical but individually
distinct, thanks to two simple movements of flanking and staggering, are characterized
by a solid stone masonry that draws two L-shaped walls. The masonry, strongly
anchored to the ground, is counterbalanced towards the valley by a large window
in wood and glass that spreads over two levels and guarantees lighting and direct
views of the surrounding landscape from the living area. The link with the rural architecture of the area is well summarized, in addition to the materials, by the typologically relevant elements including the traditional symmetrical pitched roof with
the structural warp in fir trunks. The roof, detached from the perimeter walls, is supported by wooden columns and partitions, a refined compositional choice that generates an unusual glass surface." |
