Casa Brutale is a geometrical translation of the landscape. It is an unclad statement on the simplicity and harmony of contemporary architecture. It is a chameleonic living space, created to serve its owner and respect the environment. It is the inverted reference to Casa Malaparte, encased and protected by the tender earth that has hosted human civilization for millennia. It is a complete study of aesthetics, structure, function, and engineering, which is thoroughly detailed, and awaits solely its realization. Casa Brutale is OPA’s challenging vision of innovative architecture, where innovation refers to long-forgotten terms such as ambiance and materiality. Its subtle form allows for the magnificent view and the game of light and shadow to take center stage. The residence is constructed with simple materials: wood, glass, and concrete, the convergence of the surrounding earth and water.
