ghezzi novak's latest work in peru shifts into a concrete volume filled with plants

ghezzi novak‘s ‘main entrance and terrace in lima’ project set in peru is about ‘entering’. the proposal presents a new entrance for a house surrounded by buildings. the entry point takes distance from the street to arrive to a vaulted, low and heavy concrete volume — a purifying transition between outside and inside.

this volume hides a secret and private place — a quiet interior that is a long terrace filled with plants. here, peruvian based studio ghezzi novak‘s ‘main entrance and terrace in lima’ project is about being in a space. being in a terrace underneath a totora canopy.
