Villa Sospesa is an architecture built on the edge.
Not as a spectacular gesture, but as a condition of balance between emptiness and gravity.

The building is located on a steep site on the edge of the city, establishing a direct relationship with the slope and the void below. The volume does not rest on the ground, but is precisely anchored to it, allowing its suspension to become an integral part of the spatial experience.

The shape arises from a primary geometry.
A cruciform layout generates four interstitial spaces open to the sky and the earth, places of active emptiness where space is not delimited, but rather placed under tension. The walls do not enclose: they frame. The void becomes matter, measure, breath.

Architecture works by subtraction.
Surfaces and volumes become lighter to the point of losing their perceptual consistency, allowing light, air, and human presence to complete the space. Life doesn't occupy architecture: it animates it.

In Villa Sospesa, living is not rootedness, but fragile permanence.
A measured balance between earth and sky, where space does not protect from the void, but teaches us to remain there.
