At a glance from the street, it’s a jumble of steely boxes. Even on closer inspection, you’d find it hard to tell it is a residence. That’s not lost on its owner, Guido Fejles. “Many people don’t realize it’s a house because it’s so strange,” he says.
Guido, a chef, knew he wanted to buildStefano Pujatti. The founder of design studio ElasticoFarm, Pujatti was given carte blanche, with some requests: Guido didn’t want a cement house, which is common in the area, and he wanted to prioritize convivial spaces so he could host guests, even if it meant having small bedrooms. He remembers seeing Pujatti’s proposal for the first time. “We knew he was a bit crazy, but when we saw the design we realized just how crazy he was,” says Guido. “But he’s very talented. That’s why I let him do his thing.”
