    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    This off the grid house is set in an olive grove, and is like a pavilion, with daytime and nighttime functions spread over two wings making the most of solar orientation and views of the surrounding natural park. The regulatory sloping roof is a sculptural element, with a steel cornice hiding the gutter and giving the house a contemporary appearance, creating an engawa in the process, to mediate between inside and outside. Carefully designed shading devices and overhangs protect the house from overheating, along with a striking rammed earth wall throughout the house, which adds thermal mass.
