In this interview, we explore this theme with <strong>Luca Maria Gandini from L architetti<\/strong>, a studio distinguished by its pursuit of <strong>balance between form and substance<\/strong> through projects that harmoniously integrate into the landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Luca, let&#8217;s talk about your studio L architetti. What do you specialise in?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our studio focuses on <strong>both private and public design<\/strong>. We often collaborate with <strong>Rai in Turin and Milan<\/strong> for interior renovations, but we also create villas and interior projects for private clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How many of you are in the studio?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There are three partners<\/strong>: myself, Fabrizio Caudana, and Alberto Minero. We also have two collaborators who assist us.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Can you tell us about a project you&#8217;d like to discuss today?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;d like to talk about <strong>Casa Y<\/strong>, a project in the hills of Turin, made of <strong>reinforced concrete and corten steel<\/strong>. It consists of two parallelepipeds with a flat roof, a very linear and simple architecture, integrated into the landscape. Before designing, we like to <strong>walk around the context and listen to the places<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you also work on interiors?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yes, we develop interiors with a <strong>particular focus on light and shadow<\/strong>, trying to make each space suitable for the client&#8217;s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tell us about another project.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At <strong>Milu Farm<\/strong>, we worked for a couple, one blind and one French, who decided to settle in Italy. We found agricultural land in the province of Turin and there we created a public part <strong>maintaining the structure of the original farmhouse<\/strong> and a more modern private part in concrete, <strong>integrating the residence with the surrounding greenery<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is your relationship with greenery?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Greenery is essential in our projects, especially in villas. We like the <strong>greenery to appear as natural as possible<\/strong>, not so much an Italian garden but more of an English garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A keyword that represents you?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For us, <em><strong>material and light are essential<\/strong><\/em>.
