Punta Bianca is the ideal Sicilian summer escape, shaped by extraordinary coastal geophysical formations and a 19th-century “time capsule” relic. The intervention embraces this context with a minimal approach, allowing the environment and the historic customs house remnant to speak for themselves.

With a design that balances between natural and man-made, raw and refined, order and disorder, this project creates a harmonious interplay of contrasts. Curves and straight lines provide rhythm to the geometry, while a carefully curated material palette adds depth and cohesion to the overall composition.
