3=2+1 house by Francesco Moncada

Interior design on a three-storey home in Sycaruse, Italy designed by Italian architect Francesco Moncada. The residence includes a guest house on the ground floor, with marine-plywood flooring and a folding, steel divide. Rubber and concrete flooring is used in the kitchen and living area, located on the first floor. A cantilevered staircase leads to a bedroom on the third floor, which is connected to a terrace through one glazed wall.




The first level, the guesthouse, is an open space where the pavement is coated by big slabs of marine plywood. The steel sliding wall separates the living room from the bedroom. When it’s closed, the space and the light remains unchanged but the vision is deformed by the irregularity of the thin irregular mirroring surface.



Three levels for two habitation units. The house is a refurbishment of a 19th century three level building in one of the most antiqueroads (750 B.C.) in the Ortigia’s island, the Syracuse’s historical center.
