After some months of silence, after the grapes harvest and the wine bottling, we have decided it was time to publish some updated photographs we have been shooting on the site of this house on the hills near Piacenza that we have designed for a couple of small wine producers.
As the construction process developed, we realized that our feeling of ‘ownership’ progressively decreased through a (sometimes painful) passage that will soon deliver the building from our hands to the ones of the inhabitants. In the same way, the decisions we now have to face are less and less related to the organization of space, light and… architecture, but rather dictated by clients taste, practical needs and… unexplainable obsessions. It is perhaps in this transition, and because this ‘suspension’, that is possible to find the right moments to shoot, look at and share our photographs without caring too much about things that are still too unfinished, or things that will soon be too defined and characterized…
