House GM: A Refined Study in Contemporary Italian Minimalism
House GM from Didonè Comacchio Architects is a clean exercise in contemporary Italian minimalism. The exterior is defined by a long concrete plate that anchors the building and creates a sense of privacy through brick screens and carefully framed openings.
Above it, two simple upper volumes complete the composition — one for the bedrooms, one enclosing a quiet rooftop terrace. The materials remain restrained: smooth concrete, pale brick, and bronze-accented openings give the home a calm, structured presence.
A suspended concrete stair wall acts as a sculptural divider, softened by filtered light from above. Walnut floors and large wooden panels add warmth to the otherwise neutral interior, balancing the cool tones of the concrete. Long internal views connect the kitchen, living spaces, and patios, emphasizing the house’s theme of visual continuity and gentle transitions.
The Poliform kitchen is the project’s most refined interior feature. A dark island anchors the room, while a recessed stone niche creates a functional yet minimalist workspace. Tall walnut cabinetry provides clean lines and a warm counterbalance to the muted palette. With its precise detailing and controlled material palette, House GM achieves a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere rooted in simplicity and architectural discipline.
The bathroom continues the home’s minimalist language with a clean, integrated sink and a refined material palette. The Fantini Nostromo faucet stands out through its precise, marine-inspired silhouette — slim, curved, and crafted for understated elegance.
