Arched Windows and Doors - Church-like Effect

A Delightful Family Abode
by Nauta Architecture & Research, Avetrana, Italy

Offering privacy towards the street and opening upon an interior garden, the house was lacking in light, so the architects installed a, sometimes unconventional, series of arches throughout the dwelling. The arches serve as external windows, letting in natural light, but also as internal windows that connect entire rooms. The effect is almost church-like: vaulted, open and restrained.

According to the architects, a local mix of hydraulic mortar and terracotta grit (‘coccio pesto’) was used for the floors, while the walls are covered in masonry and stucco, and travertine is used for the other surfaces.
