A12 – Puleo Architettura

Catania, 2024

This project, located between Aci Castello and Acitrezza, transforms a rural building into a contemporary residence suspended between memory and landscape. Lava stone interacts with exposed concrete, while full-height glazing frames striking views of Mount Etna and the coastline.

The house unfolds over three levels, with a bright living area defined by opposing glazed openings and a reinterpreted pitched roof. The Mediterranean garden, with a pool set among lava rock and native vegetation, reinforces the bond between architecture and nature, balancing tradition and contemporary language.
