The transparent housing concept by Santambrogiomilano,
named Simplicity, are designed to be built almost in any place,
allowing to be completely immersed in nature.All the component of the
transparent housing concept, is composed of structural glass pieces.
There are two types, the ‘snow house’ located in colder climate, and the ‘cliff house’ with thinner lighter glass elements.
The special glass panels instantly turn matte only with the touch of a button.
According to designers:
Simplicity is when, in the act of creating the dwelling, matter becomes transparent, a medium for aesthetic values, the stage and theater of representation.
“That image is symbolic,” they comment. “We’re portrayed standing on a transparent sheet of glass. We’re on the upper floor of the Milan showroom, in reality absorbed into a dimension which effaces every distinction between spaces and relates the interior to the setting outside, the urban context. So often, at least virtually, the boundary line vanishes, and we receive the impression of an unbroken vision. It is then that we ask ourselves about the applications most relevant to the project. And we realize everything is possible in Simplicity, everything can be achieved, provided it embodies a sensitive interpretation of the basic function aimed at satisfying aesthetic needs. The Plexiglas joint makes it possible to combine and assemble the sheets of glass, defining architectural works which are one the development of the other and are integrated in and adapted to the most disparate settings.”
