Text description provided by the architects. The Casa MF is located on a hillside overlooking Trento, between a residential urban area, characterized chiefly by detached houses, and a green agricultural area and woodland. The residence extends towards the northeast with a shell of concrete shielding the structure from the aforementioned urban area whereas, to the southwest, it opens up completely to the surrounding countryside. The abstract volume of the building fits into this rural context with simplicity and a kind of formal rigor, a horizontal structure emphasized by the presence of a dry-stone retaining wall which slopes towards the valley floor.
