\"House<\/div>\n

Italian practice Atelier Matteo Arnone has completed House for Two Musicians, a minimal, symmetrical home<\/a> with a pair of recording studios on the site of an old winery<\/a> in Portugal<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surrounded by vineyards at Quinta do Alamo in Carnota near Lisbon<\/a>, the dwelling occupies the footprint of a dilapidated brick wine store that once stood at the edge of a forested area on the site.<\/p>\n

Atelier Matteo Arnone made the building’s plan completely symmetrical following a request for the home to include two identical music studios.<\/p>\n

“The clients’ brief was very simple, two functional spaces \u2013 a living room and a bedroom \u2013 and two identical recording studios,” Atelier Matteo Arnone founder Matteo Arnone told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“This immediately suggested a symmetrical approach to the project,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“From the very beginning, the main idea was to create voids the act to ‘carve out’ this original volume, introducing internal patios to bring natural light and spatial depth that could embrace the two identical spaces.”<\/p>\n

\"Home

The pair of recording studios sit at the heart of the home on the first floor, housed within two back-to-back semicircular forms on either side of a central square courtyard, which they overlook through porthole windows.<\/p>\n

These studios project out over the living space and bedroom below, both of which open out onto courtyards at either end of the home through full-height, sliding glass doors.<\/p>\n
