Villa RL in Key Biscayne area of Miami, Florida is one of many projects of Studio Delrosso’ in the United States. “The entire home is conceived as a compact white unit fended vertically with bands of glazing, partially concealed by the overlap of jutting panels that scatter the continuity, creating the impression of a discontinuous surface enclosed only in glass.” As in other cases, the poetics of the construction pivot on the plot of land itself, which in this case was not particularly favorable. Characterizing the east/west border is a surface of solid walls conceived as panels suspended shy of the base to generate a sense of “floating” above the ground. This format yields at the centre with a vertical window section on the two east/west sides, a sort of glazed gallery shielded by two existing palm trees. The day area extends northwards, looking onto the swimming-pool area. The overall site plan covers around 450 square meters and consists of a ground storey with living-room and guest suite, whereas the family’s private area of three suites is housed on the upper storey.

Villa RL situata nella zona di Key Biscayne a Miami, in Florida, è uno dei tanti progetti dello Studio Delrosso negli Stati Uniti. “Tutta la casa è concepita come un volume compatto bianco, tagliato verticalmente da nastri vetrati, parzialmente celati dalla sovrapposizione dei pannelli di tamponamento a sbalzo che spezzano la continuità, dando l’impressione di una superficie discontinua chiusa solo dal vetro”. Come sempre è il territorio, un lotto di terreno non particolarmente generoso, a guidare l’interpretazione e la poetica della costruzione. Sui lati di confine est/ovest, la casa è caratterizzata da ampie pareti, concepite come pannelli sospesi, staccati dal basamento, per creare l’illusione di una casa “galleggiante”, sollevata rispetto al terreno. Solo centralmente è tagliata da un’ampia vetrata verticale, sui due lati est/ovest: una sorta di passante vetrato protetto da due palme preesistenti. La zona giorno si sviluppa verso nord, affacciandosi sulla piastra della zona piscina. La superficie complessiva, circa 450 metri quadri, è distribuita a piano terra con un’area living e una suite ospiti, mentre la zona padronale, composta da tre suite, è al piano superiore.
