House AJ is a minimal residence located in Bassano del Grappa VI, Italy, designed by Didoné Comacchio Architects. The body of the building is composed of two volumes orthogonal to each other in a classic “T” composition. Inside, the served and serving spaces find a logical and functional organization, which through its orientation defines the most private external garden and unexpected internal spatiality. Access to the house is from the road to the north. Once through the gate, the building appears as a compact and opaque volume, protecting the garden in the south area. The large dark pitch, which overlooks the single story, appears and disappears among the trees kept within the area.
