Ermetika Projects | Casa ECS

OVERVIEW

Designed by Architect Giuseppe Gurrieri, the Casa ECS is a very interesting example of how it is possible to integrate new architecture with its surroundings without disrupting its essence.

The relationship with the context is the starting point in this project, whose final result is the total mimesis of the residence with the landscape of Scicli in Sicily.

 

The intervention was carried out following principles of low environmental impact on the territory and focused on an in-depth study for energy saving solution obtaining the NZEB certification.

The land follows its natural slope towards the sea in a sequence of terraces, contained by dry stone walls and olive trees. These walls enclose the stairs that connect the two levels of the land and produce the main elevation of the house, that is completely integrated with nature thanks to its roof-garden.

 

The project combines a private house and an artist's workshop that face two courtyards on the north side to provide more light for the interior space. In plan, the several rooms of the house are organised in a structured geometric layout and mainly exploits the southern view towards the sea. This design choice gives the perception that the landscape crosses the interior space of the house from north to south.

 

Internal doors help define the limits of space, their design, finish and opening system complement the planned architecture. Ermetika’s products were included in this project because they allow the designers' intentions to be expressed in the best possible way.


The combination of quality, reliability and attractive design make the Absolute Evo (counterframe for frameless sliding doors) and Absolute Swing (for flush-to-wall hinged doors) systems the ideal products for this type of work.
