The sense of uncluttered minimalism of Casa G makes visiting this bespoke home in northern Italy a truly relaxing experience. Its architect, Sondrio based Italian Alfredo Vanotti, admits to aiming to create a space that felt calm and in touch with the outdoors, like an ‘inhabited terrace’, he says.

卡萨·G的简约感使参观意大利北部这座定制的家成为一种真正的放松体验。他说，它的建筑师、意大利阿尔弗雷多·瓦诺蒂(AlfredoVanotti)承认，其目标是创造一个平静、与户外保持联系的空间，就像一个“有人居住的露台”。

When his client approached him for a house on a beautiful spot among vineyards, in a historical town on the Rhaetian side of the Alps, the architect jumped at the opportunity. The brief described a house that would be ‘clean, simple and relaxing’, and Vanotti dully obliged, taking his cues from modernist architecture and the nearby mountains (in particular the long vistas towards the Bergamasque Alps).

当他的客户走近他，在阿尔卑斯山Rhaetian一侧的一个历史小镇葡萄园中的一个美丽的地方买一所房子时，建筑师立刻抓住了这个机会。这份简报描述了一座“干净、简单和放松”的房子，瓦诺蒂不动声色地接受了他的建议，从现代主义建筑和附近的山脉(特别是对柏加斯克阿尔卑斯山的漫长远景)中汲取了他的线索。

By creating long expanses of glass covered openings and placing the structure in a way that follows its elongated plot – whose long side looks out towards the nearby hills and mountains in the distance, the architect achieved a house that captures the sun throughout the year and in all seasons. A 35m-long infinity pool runs parallel to the house’s clean, orthogonal, low shape, and mirrors the surroundings, while enhancing the building’s ethereal linearity.

这位建筑师创造了一大片玻璃覆盖的洞口，并将建筑按其细长的地块放置-它的长方远眺着附近的山丘和山脉。这座建筑实现了一座全年、四季都能捕捉阳光的房子。一个35米长的无限大水池平行于房子的干净、正交、低矮的形状，反映了周围的环境，同时增强了建筑的虚幻线性。

Built mostly in naked concrete and glass, the structure uses Sky-Frame openings – a sophisticated Swiss system of frameless, sliding windows, one of which spans an impressive 35m and the entire living room, looking out towards the water. This cleverly accentuates the overall sense of clarity and design simplicity.

该结构主要由裸露的混凝土和玻璃建造，采用天空框架开口-一个复杂的瑞士无框滑动窗户系统，其中一个覆盖着令人印象深刻的35米，整个客厅都朝水望去。这巧妙地强调了整体的清晰感和设计的简单性。

‘The result is an almost invisible home that blends into the land, where you can enjoy the tranquillity of the landscape’, says Vanotti. §

Vanotti说：“结果就是一个几乎看不见的家，它融入了土地，在那里你可以享受到风景的宁静。”§
