A few blocks away from the sea, a dead-end street surrounded by dense coastal vegetation, goes in through the lot`s
ground up to the limit of its furthermost wall.

A sequence of spaces, at times covered at times uncovered, marks the rhythm of this route and dissolves the distinc-
tion between inside and outside.

The continuous gaze is interrupted only by prisms covered in corten steel – a living mineral, almost vegetal in its
metamorphosis by oxidation - which have functions of support to the house’s social spaces.

Four meters above, containing private functions, another prism floats, white as the walls of the colonial house, but ef-
fusively perforated, excavated, so as to let in all the way to the soil and to its own interior, the sunlight, the views of
the mountains and the surrounding vegetation.

Through its gaps, arises the possibility of the unexpected encounter, between the natural and the rational, between
the private and the social or even the simplest visual interaction between two individuals.

PHOTO ESSAYS (/BOOKS/DIVISARE/SERIES/PHOTO_ESSAYS)

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 dis-
tractions. 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 Subscribe (/subscriptions). You will get full access to
