白塔的房子位于Gagliano del Capo，这是一个安静的村庄，位于意大利东南部 “意大利靴后跟 “的阿普利亚最南端的萨兰托地区的中心。为了摆脱伦敦城市生活的喧嚣，他们的愿景是在一个他们最热爱的地方为家人创造一个宁静的天堂。萨兰托。洛伦佐和阿莱格拉花了多年时间寻找理想的地方，在Gagliano del Capo发现了一小块土地，这是一个白色的小镇，距离亚得里亚海岸只有几分钟的路程。
The White Tower house is located in Gagliano del Capo, a quiet village in the heart of Salento, the southernmost region of Apulia that stretches at the “heel of Italian boot” in south-eastern Italy. Aiming to escape the hustle and bustle of their London city life, their vision was to create a haven of tranquillity for their family in a place they most love: Salento. Having spent years searching for the ideal place, Lorenzo and Allegra discovered a small plot of land in Gagliano del Capo, a small white town minutes away from the Adriatic coast.
这座房子位于密集的城市环境中，靠近历史悠久的市中心，沿着一条名为Ciolo的人行道，连接Gagliano和大海。从一开始，房子的设计就试图与现有的城市结构建立对话。房子的设计反映了步行街景的开放性和日常家庭生活的私密性之间的关系。
The house is located within a dense urban context in the proximity of the historic town centre and along a footpath, named Ciolo, that links Gagliano to the sea. From inception, the design of the house sought to establish a dialogue with the existing urban fabric. The design of the house reflects the relationship between the openness of the pedestrian streetscape and the privacy of the daily family life.
该结构在占据所有可用面积（780平方米的占地面积）的同时，在内部空间和外部天井之间建立了一种平衡的平衡。遵循罗马穹顶的传统，房屋的集合体俯瞰着一个内部庭院。实体和空隙的相互作用也产生了一个由小天井组成的网络，将单个房间与外部紧密相连。
The fabric, while occupying all the available area (780 sqm footprint), establishes a balanced equilibrium between the interior spaces and the exterior patio. Following the tradition of the Roman domus, the aggregated volumes of the house overlook an internal courtyard. The interplay of solids and voids also produces a network of smaller patios that intimately connected single rooms to the exterior.
然而，中央庭院才是房子真正的核心，是聚会和玩耍的地方，游泳池和精心挑选的植被再现了自然元素的存在。俯瞰天井，一个12米高的塔楼，所有的主要卧室都在这里。这座塔楼与圣罗科教堂的钟楼一致，在容纳所有卧室的同时，它还提供了通往大海的暗示性视觉通道。这个元素是让人想起诺曼人的瞭望塔，一个典型的和迷人的萨兰托沿海景观的元素。
The central courtyard, however, is the real heart of the house, a place of conviviality and play, where the swimming pool and the carefully selected vegetation reproduce the presence of natural elements. Overlooking the patio, a 12m high tower where all the main bedrooms are located. The tower is in line with the bell tower of the church of San Rocco and, while hosting all the bedrooms, it offers suggestive visual access to the sea. This element is reminiscent of the Norman watchtowers, a typical and fascinating element of the coastal landscape of Salento.
天井周围的空间通过大型双层玻璃推拉窗与外部相连，建立了一个连续的内部流向外部，反之亦然，使外部成为房子最私密的房间的一部分。室内和室外之间的门槛是由一个由镀锌铁皮和竹子覆盖的外部天篷所标志的，它将房子的所有体积连接成一个单一的建筑元素。
The spaces surrounding the patio are connected to the exterior through large double-glazed sliding windows establishing a continuous flow of the interior into the exterior and, vice versa, rendering the exterior as part of the most intimate rooms of the house. The threshold between interior and exterior is marked by the presence of an external canopy made of galvanized iron and covered with bamboo, that connects all the volumes of the house in a single architectural element.
房子的建筑风格是刻意简约的，让自然元素自然地充满空间。光与影在白色的体量表面上的相互作用，为屋内的生活提供了一个不断变化的背景。
The architecture of the house is deliberately austere to allow the natural elements to naturally fill the space. The interplay of light and shadow onto the white surfaces of the volumes produces an ever-changing backdrop to the life inside the house.
房子里的每一个元素都为它的建筑综合体做出了贡献：体量、天篷、花盆、嵌入砖石中的室内陈设、游泳池和壁炉相互对话，创造了一个独特的建筑模块。这种自然元素与建筑之间、室内与室外之间的俏皮交流，提升了居民的精神福祉。
Each and every element of the house contribute to its cohesive architectural synthesis: the volumes, the canopy, the planters, and the interior furnishings embedded in the masonry, the pool, and the fireplace dialogue with each other creating a unique architectural block. This playful exchange between the natural elements and the architecture, the inside and the outside enhance the spiritual well-being of the inhabitants.
