Simone Subissati’s Casa di Confine

Simone Subissati’s Casa di Confine, or “Boundary House”, stands proudly erect on a hill in the province of Ancona, in the Italian region of Marche. The subdivision of space in the private residence is based on the floor plan of traditional rural homes in the area, while its appearance connects it with the radical Italian avant-garde movements of the sixties and seventies. The project is illustrated in a short documentary directed by Federica Biondi.
