ADD TO COLLECTION
Instead of being completely demolished, an existent construction is maintained and interpreted as a solid to be excavated, de-
signing its negative-spaces to subvert the old spatial syntax. Three resulting suppressions reorganize the program, creating in-
ternal patios as ‘decompression areas’ between uses and as graduation between interior and exterior. The first suppression per-
mits turning the old garage in the lower-level in a double-height living-room, now connected to the forgotten backyard.

The second one creates a suspended double-height patio in the intermediate level, inserting a tree between studio/tv room (in-
termediate level) and children rooms (upper). The third cut brings an intimate patio as extension of parents-room in the upper
level. Seemingly random, the openings in the façade respond to accurate positioning framed views from the interior.

DIVISARE BOOKS
The new divisare books are small format pocket-book size, in limited editions of 200 copies, high-resolution digital printed, bound, with a hardcover,
finished in fine English paper. Titles on the cover are silver foil hot stamped. We attach great importance to the tactile quality of the book as an object
as well as, of course, its contents. Unlike the web that runs fast and vanishes faster, leaving no trace, Our books have the aim of lasting in time. The
idea is simple: printed paper instead of pixels; we just want to invite you to get away from the screens of your devices for a moment, to sit back in a
favorite armchair and enjoy a good read, in the old fashioned way.

HELP US SWIM AGAINST THE TIDE.
Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.
Divisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over
twenty years. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool
with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Instead of a quick, distracted web, we
want a slow, attentive one. Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. This is
why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. No click — like — tweet — share, no
advertising, banners, pop-ups. Just architecture, no more and no less. If you like what we’re doing, please
