Giacomuzzi is a huge duplex completed in 2011 by Monovolume Architecture + Design. It is located near Lake Caldaro in Kaltern, Italy, overlooking beautiful vineyards and fields.
Three sides of the building are closed, ensuring excellent privacy, but the wall that faces the spectacular views is entirely covered with glass. This makes up a perfect frame for the picturesque surroundings, creating the impression of always gazing upon an ever changing painting.
Situated on a sloping lot, the house follows the path of the sun. While the bedrooms and living room face south, the other spaces are oriented towards northwest.

Architecture shouldn’t just shelter us; it should curate our experience of the world. Here, the glass dissolves the boundary between self and landscape, turning daily life into a shifting masterpiece.
Thank you! That captures our intent perfectly. We designed the glass walls specifically to blur those lines, letting the landscape become part of the home’s daily rhythm. It is wonderful to hear that the space feels like a living masterpiece to you.
