The design reinterprets local architectural traditions, integrating the structure into a transitional space between a historical village core and newer urban developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The home is defined by its octagonal plan, a form that acts as a conceptual link between the old and new urban contexts. This geometry is influenced by 19th-century regional architecture. The building\u2019s shape, including a diagonally cut roof and strategically placed external staircase, reflects the proportions and typologies of nearby historical structures, creating visual continuity between the new and existing architecture.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Davide Macullo Architects<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Sculptural residence by Davide Macullo\u00a0is shaped by its context<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design of Swisshouse XL emphasizes a balance between solid mass and voids. The volume is sculpted to create a sense of lightness while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The cuts in the octagonal form are designed to optimize views and orientation, carving out spaces that host living areas. This approach results in a sculptural volume that is shaped by its context rather than by purely formal intentions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The integration of a single-story garage with the village\u2019s older buildings reinforces the relationship between the new construction and its historical fabric. The overall composition by Davide Macullo Architects <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macullo.com\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> is a thoughtful architectural response to its specific site, embodying a balance between traditional elements and contemporary design.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0SWISSHOUSE XL COLDRERIO<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.macullo.com\/\">Davide Macullo<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/davidemaculloarchitects\/\">@davidemaculloarchitects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Coldrerio, Switzerland<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/cuts-voids-swisshouse-xl-solid-octagonal-block-davide-macullo-architects-coldrerio-switzerland-09-03-2025\/\">cuts and voids carve swisshouse xl\u2019s solid octagonal block by davide macullo architects<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWISSHOUSE XL\u2019s octagonal plan links old and new architecture \u00a0 Davide Macullo Architects designs the Swisshouse XL, a single-family home in Coldrerio, Switzerland, that establishes a dialogue with its surroundings.
