Aleppine courtyard houseSyria: a research experience

Koppen: a system that identifies climate zones.The Koppen system defines the climate of the Mediterranean as CS.

The climate of the Mediterranean is a sub tropical climate: dry summer; mild winters; very highsunlight; concentration of precipitation in cold weather; summer almost dry; medium strong wind regime.

Aleppine courtyard house

Ancient origins:it derives from the Hellenistic home court before, Roman one later and Byzantine one too.

The variations are determined by three aspects:

- the influence of different cultures (Islamic culture),

- construction techniques, materials, etc: original architectural construction practices

- specific space needs (climate, habits, etc.)


The courtyard system in the urban fabric of Aleppo.

Courtyard houses consist of one or two floors level around an inner yard.

The residential distric is clusteredaround major alleys which lead to court yard houses through a system of secondary streets and blind alleys.


The Aleppine courtyard house generates a compact and introverted urban fabric.

This enclosed urban fabric is made of concentric progressive fences and silent roads and walkways.

You access the courts through the “cul de sac” which is the last element in the scale of public approaches to the residence.

Effect of the progressive original domus divisions and obstruction.


Skif:a maze entrance at the end of the cul de sac.

The Skif avoids introspection, indiscreet eyes (for example, if you leave the door open to increase the flow of air during warmer periods).


The rooms surrounding the courts face on it, while the walls are essentially without openings.

A extremely silent and severe cityscape.

This typology allows you to protect domestic spaces from chaotic city noise and dust.


Two floors + Quabu (a semi basement under the two graound floors).

Quabu is used in summer as a fresh space ,In winter as a cold space to store food.

Facades are generally made of stone.

The stone walls are a good defense from the summer heat.

It consist of two or three rows of widows that give light and air to the interior.


The Iwan , positioned north, is an opened empty covered space.

The Iwan is almost always lifted some steps from the ground to capture better air flow that pass through the courtyard.


In the courtyard there were trees and water features.

The fountains are able to produce large benefits in a warm dry climate: fountains are able to lower temperatures as a result of evaporation, humidifying dry air at the same time.

The Al masharabia are architectural elements used to decrease the summer irradiation: sunscreens filter out the sun’s rays and increase privacy.


A difference in height is located inside housing at the inlet.

It identifies a kind of trap to prevent the cold air entering the house in winter.(Living rooms, realized raised, to an higher level, remain warmer).

This will also prevent the winter rains to invade the house.


Almalkaf captures main winds and deflects them inside the house.

It could be fitted with supports acts to fix tissues able to filter the air from dust.

The fabrics, when wet, are able to humidify invading house air flows.


“La casa tra gli alberi” Torino

The house among the Trees wins the prize Architetture Rivelate 2013, that comes from the OAT (Ordine degli Architetti PPC della Provincia di Torino).

The house among the trees wins the second prize at the RI.U.SO International Competition, promoted by the CNA, Legambiente and ANCE.

“La casa tra gli alberi”, Torino

The House among the Trees is situated in the district of San Salvario: center of the major migration flows that shaped the city in the second post-war period.

Now marked by an extraordinary process of gentryfication which profoundly changed not only the social and generational composition but also the builfscape.


The project is aimed at restructuring a low building formerly used as a workshop and converting it to residential use.


Before the change of use, the building was a workplace used for handicrafts production.

The low building and its courtyard before restructuring.


The scope for this intervention is to restructure the low building and its courtyard.

The building looks like an independent building inserted in the urban fabric. …………………..

Demolition of the elements inconsistent with the original building.

Construction of a new wing in the north side.


The voids:

Define two empty spaces: the courtyard and the patio,around which the living space is configured.


The light:

The new skylights inserted in the roof ensure maximum light yield even in adverse seasonal conditions and offer a pleasant view of the sky.


The green system:

The flat roof of the building and the new wing has been transformed into a roof garden, a terrace, and many trees in the courtyard,to emphasize the outdoor space.

1 0 2 5 Shared Courtyard

A new party wall separates the private yard of the apartment from the common courtyard.


The blind wall, the entrance door and the sliding driveway door, completely plastered make up a barrier against noise and against prying eyes.


The presence of trees and small green areas has transformed the courtyard into an unexpected and urban garden that offers a lovely view from all the rooms of the house.


In winter, the naked trees reveal the façade of the building, whose appearance suggests a workshop.

The light, no longer shaded by the thick summer foliage, is allowed to freely enter into all living spaces.


The vegetal elementsin the courtyard seem to want to regain their space by “splitting” the floor constructed in Liege bluestone staves.


The living area overlooks the inner patio. Large sliding windows help create continuity between interior and exterior, integrating the living space with the vegetal elements.

The long cement support surface connects the two zones.

A cement support surface, provided with iron-coated pull-out drawers, runs along the whole length of the living room up to the outdoor patio becoming a bench to sit on in summer.


In summer, thanks to large full-height sliding windows, the patio becomes an integral part of the kitchen.

Coplanarity of walls and floors and the use of the same materials for both, create an ambiguous boundary between interior and exterior, where the outside becomes the inside and vice versa.


The dining area is surrounded by sliding French windows.

Its provide a spectacular framing for the trees of the patio and courtyard.


The partition wall holding the fireplace is the only opaque element separating the living area from the patio.

The small office at the first floor enjoys an outstanding view over the sofà area and the patio.



Trought the book-case.

A long blind corridor emphasized by “invidisible” doors separates the rooms of the sleeping area from the bathrooms and closets.

At the far end, the space is definitely concluded by the zenith lighting coming from the overhead skylights of the terrace.

A cement tank integrated with the floor enjoys a privileged view over the tree courtyard.

A large sliding window turns the tank into a small swimming pool immersed in green.


In winter, the architecture of the site is revealed by the naked trees: the Liege bluestone covering the courtyard and the north façade, the grey plaster of the main façades and the black aluminum of the fixtures.


Liege bluestone personalized in different shapes are used for cladding the entire surface of the courtyard and the north façade hiding the access to the technical rooms.


From the courtyard to the terrace, up to the roof garden:

the city context unveils progressively.


Looking down from the terrace:

the contrast between the tree-lined courtyard with the city context really sticks out.


The project establishes an ambivalent dialogue with a difficult context:

it closes itself off from it by constructing a high wall of neutral colours (defining the typical artificial/natural space of the main patio);

it offers itself to it through a luxuriant roof garden where views open unexpectedly over the surrounding urban landscape.

Injections of green areas can generate reactions leading to an improvement of the entire organism, the city.

The house among the trees has been an example, a testing ground on a micro scale of the city we dream about.

“Casa tra gli ulivi”, Montegrazie, Imperia


Da ovest, si accede alla proprietà passeggiando sulle fasce terrazzate, attraverso le chiome centenarie degli ulivi la piccola abitazione si intravede appena, i materiali e i colori utilizzati sono quelli del territorio ligure.


L’architettura, a volte, è solo un mezzo per contemplare un paesaggio. L’edificio è concepito come sorta di mirador per cercare le migliori viste sul territorio.Demolitions and constructions.

IL PIANO TERRAPer guardare a est e a ovest le fasce, i prati e gli uliviVoids and light.

IL PIANO PRIMOPer guardare a nord le colline terrazzate e a sud il mare The green system.

LA COPERTURAPer guardare a 360° l’entroterra, la costa e la Corsica.The green system.


L’edificio si sviluppa verso l’alto con due piani fuori terra per ridurre al minimo (5mx5m) il suo ingombro sul lotto terrazzato. A sud l’ampia finestra a tutta altezza, si appoggia sulla muratura rivestita in pietra locale del piano terra, quasi a voler superare le chiome degli ulivi e cercare l’ideale affaccio verso il mare.


Gli spazi abitativi cercano una interazione fisica e visiva con il territorio.Gli accessi e i vani finestrati della zona giorno, a piano primo, e della zona notte a piano terra, si orientano rispettivamente in direzione perpendicolare e parallela alle fasce adattandosi alla morfologia del territorio, evitando movimenti terra e salvaguardando gli ulivi esistenti.Un piccolo invaso per la raccolta dell’acqua diventa, d’estate, una piccola vasca per rinfrescarsi.

Le ampie superfici finestrate vogliono smaterializzare il costruito, garantendo, dall’interno, la massima visibilità del paesaggio. Anche da fuori l’edificio non impedisce la vista verso il mare.

A piano primo si sviluppa la zona giorno. Entrando sullo sfondo il paesaggio di sostituisce ad una delle pareti della stanza. La muratura prosegue oltre il filo della vetrata quasi a voler prolungare lo spazio abitativo oltre il limite dell’edificio, verso il mare.


A piano primo le pannellature apribili in legno laccato si mimetizzano con la tinta della muratura e nascondono gli spazi di servizio all’abitazione. La cucina all’occorrenza si apre svelando i suoi accessori, da chiusa completa la parete della stanza. L’unico elemento a vista è il vetro della stufa incassata. Nulla interferisce con la vista mozzafiato, solo il fuoco e il mare.
