House NM by Studio Ecoarch

House NM is a beautiful modern home located in the city of Varese, Italy. Designed by Studio Ecoarch, it features approximately 3,000 square feet of contemporary living spaces with stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Val Ceresio is a beautiful and richly vegetated area from an ecological standpoint. The house sits on a slope with optimal orientation, allowing sunlight and the landscape to penetrate through large windows.

The solid structure is designed using X-LAM timber and natural materials, presenting a compact form with clean-cut solutions for entrance organization, double balcony, terrace, and characteristic perspectives.

The dialogue between white plaster and wooden surfaces pays homage to immediate vernacular architecture around, even if, like in other Studio Ecoarch projects, without any form of imitation.

The absence of a basement, limited car area, and lightweight construction with a simple suspended structure form a garden full of indigenous tree species with dry-stone terraces and a planned roof, characterizing the green conscious integration of this spacious home into its landscape.
