As far as young talented architects go, Antonino Cardillo has displayed (excuse the use of a cliché) 'a maturity in his craft that is well beyond years'. Last year, he impressed our team with his 'House of Convexities' built near Barcelona, and today we got a pleasant surprise through this house that he has just designed in Melbourne, Australia.
Cardillo seems to sculpt his space, inside and out. The three-dimensional free flow merges walls and ceilings to form intricate, yet cohesive spaces. We do not see the textured treatment of the surfaces that made House of Convexities so special, but the volumes resulting from the interactive integration of the all the curvilinear and strait surfaces did yield some interesting results.

If architecture is music in stone can its “limbs” dance? Architecture only remains still in pictures. In real life its natural state is one of transition. Both man and light move within it.
Inside a house among coarse Mediterranean glades and corrugated stone walls, a slanting light, pierced by innumerable narrow repeated blades, inscribes and describes the walls with its impermanent, mutable hand. How many possible stories will this light tell over the course of a year?
