Holiday home
Summer home on farm estate
Project
Francesco SIMONI
Client’s requests
The client, owner of a farm estate, decided to use it for the summer holidays of the family, with two twin children, the parents and the friends.
The location is far from big cities and lacks specific attractions: the potentiality is found in the landscape and the organic produce of the farm.
The home is only for summer holidays and must allow to welcome many guests with their families, providing an independent accommodation for each one of them and offering some recreational infrastructures: big swimming pool, home theatre, billiard room.
The project must include shelters for the machinery and spaces for the farm estate production.
Strategies
- landscape impact:
1 floor
flat green roofing
- passive cooling:
massive/light envelope
overhangs/protection
green courtyards
transverse ventilation

El Escondido de Huampaní
Sustainable development of a farm estate
Project
Francesco SIMONI
Programme
Huampaní was an hacienda of 85 hectares, east of Lima, along the Rímac river. Currently 5 hectares are still used for organic agriculture and livestock, but they are already surrounded by the expansion of the city of Lima. The owner decided to delocalize production and urbanize an important part of the estate.
The request is to preserve the family home, with its garden, the chapel, a part of the existing livestock and of the land for organic vegetable gardens, maintaining the privacy and emphasizing the environment with low density housing and the use of green. In Huampaní, unlike in Lima, there is never “nieblita” - fog - and it’s sunny every day.
Strategies
- high class settlement;
- total garden privacy;
- high permeability;
- optimized orientation;
- ventilation courts;
- ventilation towers;
- massive/light envelope.
