The extension of a house designed by Charles M. Goodman in the 1950s, an emotional route that sets out to tell the story of an important Paleolithic site in China, a villa on Lake Como, the after lockdown prospect for the project. On the newsstands from 12 June
On Abitare, on the newsstands from 12 June, the extension by Janet Bloomberg (Kube Architecture) of a house designed by Charles M. Goodman in the 1950s, faithful to the basic principles of Mid-century Modern; the design of the Urbanus office for a Paleolithic site in Chine where can be found some of the earliest evidence for the use of fire by hominids; the homage paied by the Milanese architect Lorenzo Guzzini to the charms of Lake Como, with a villa which responds to the breath-taking scenery, the steep slope of the ground and the local tradition of construction. Two renovation projects: a flat by AquiliAlberg in a complex designed in the 20th century by the architect Giuseppe de Finetti in Milan, and a meticulously restored Renaissance palazzo in Verona by Parisotto + Formenton. Ideas, reflections and good intentions that have been going through the heads of artists and architects in the days of the pandemic. Large and small devices to keep fit at home.

Double Signature
by Michele Calzavara, photos by Julia Heine
Janet Bloomberg of KUBE Architecture – who spends her free time here – is responsible for the extension of this house designed by Charles M. Goodman in the 1950s. Faithful to the basic principles of Mid-century Modern, the new volume adds to the ensemble a sequence that has a touch of the processional about it
Fireside Tale
by Laura Anna Pezzetti, photos by Cao Baiqiang, Zeng Tianpei
On a spectacular spur of ground in the heart of China, the Urbanus office has laid out an emotional route that sets out to tell the story of an important Paleolithic site. Here in fact can be found some of the earliest evidence for the use of fire by hominids
Domesticated Waters

Almost like a votive temple dedicated to the charms of Lake Como, this villa responds to the breath-taking scenery, the steep slope of the ground and the local tradition of construction. The Milanese architect Lorenzo Guzzini has conceived it as an articulated volume, but one built out of a single material, clad with slabs of stone
Parisian Décor in Milan
by Sara Banti, photos by Daniele Domenicali
In the apartment it has renovated for a French family with four children the AquiliAlberg studio has succeeded in skilfully exploiting every square centimetre while maintaining its overall "grandeur". And in meeting the precise desires of the owners, without renouncing its own expressive language
Timeless Rooms

The Parisotto+Formenton studio has imparted a new ambience to a meticulously restored Renaissance palazzo in Verona. The secret lies in the choice of an essential and respectful language for the new insertions, made up of a few codified elements. And including a homage to Carlo Scarpa
Portuguese Experiment
by Alice Piciocchi, photos by Fernando Guerra / FG + SG
On the ground floor a public space, on the first floor six residential units. All of it enclosed in an interesting prefabricated volume of concrete. The Summary studio of Porto argues that in future methods of rapid construction like this will become increasingly common
Sensory Holidays on Majorca
by Irene Guzman
Composed of four volumes arranged on the rock in an only apparently haphazard manner, this villa designed by Caballero Colón Architects offers a stirring visual immersion in the landscape of the Balearic Islands. And exploits its partly underground position to air-condition the rooms in a natural way
Microcosm amongst the Foliage

This studio-home in the forest near Mexico City, the work of Juan Pablo de la Rosa, also has a space for music

What has been going through the heads of artists and architects in the days of the pandemic? What good ideas have they come up within the confines of their homes? Abitare has put the question to a group of creative friends from around the world. The materials that have arrived in the editorial office – sketches, writings, photos, plans – present a variegated picture. One made up of states of mind, dystopian visions, critical notes for a sustainable future and solutions to problems of the moment
Inner Visions
curated by Silvia Botti and Mia Pizzi
We have certainly realised a lot about the homes we live in during these weeks of lockdown. We have had plenty of time to reflect also thanks to glimpses inside other people's homes streamed online. We now think differently about spaces we thought served no purpose and seen how superficial some of our choices have been. Designers have started to search for real meaning again. This is an ideal time to start a whole new design process
Fitness in the Living Room
by Marco Consoli
Interactive mirrors, multipurpose benches, wired skipping ropes. We have discovered that it's easy to keep fit at home, saving time and money. And now there are large and small devices on the market designed to turn effort into play
