Dalponte/impellizzeri house

Proposed Layout Concept (110 m² house)
1. Zoning Strategy
Divide the house into 3 clear zones:
Day zone (front / garden-facing) → living + kitchen (brightest area)
Night zone (quieter side) → bedrooms
Service core (center) → bathrooms + hallway
This minimizes wasted corridor space and improves privacy.
2. Open-Plan Living + Kitchen (≈ 40–45 m²)
Position along the best sun exposure side (ideally south or southwest)
Include:
Kitchen with island
Dining area
Living room
Openings:
2 French windows (max 2.20 m each)
One from living room
One from dining/kitchen
These should open onto the 10 m² patio
This creates:
Indoor-outdoor flow
Maximum daylight penetration
Cross ventilation
3. Patio (10 m², not counted)
Place between kitchen and living
Works as:
Light well
Outdoor dining space
Privacy buffer
This is key to making the house feel bigger than 110 m².
4. Bedrooms Area
Master Bedroom (~15–16 m²)
Space for wardrobe + double bed
Ideally positioned in a quiet corner
Optional direct access to patio or garden
Bedroom 2 (~11–12 m²)
Bedroom 3 (~10–11 m²)
Both with standard windows
Positioned along one side for compact plumbing layout
5. Bathrooms (2 total)
Bathroom 1 (main) ~5 m²
Bathtub or shower
Located near bedrooms
Bathroom 2 ~4–4.5 m²
Shower + WC
Near living area (guest use)
Windows:
Standard 1.50 × 2.30 m windows in both
6. Service Spaces
Boiler Room (6 m²)
Connected to house (rear or side)
Close to bathrooms for efficient systems
Garage (5 × 6 m = 30 m²)
Direct internal access
Positioned:
Side or front (depending on road “LATO STRADA”)
7. Entrance Placement
Recommended:
Near center but slightly offset
Leads directly into:
Small entry hall (coat storage)
Opens into living area
Avoid entering directly into the kitchen.
8. Natural Light Optimization
To meet your priority:
Do this:
Orient living/kitchen toward sunny side
Use:
2 large French windows (2.20 m)
Additional standard windows if needed
Keep:
Fewer openings on bedroom side (privacy)
Bonus idea:
Add a corner window in living room (if allowed)
