Gaetano Pesce worked with architect Gabriele Pimpini and Cosimo Cardone, to make a contemporary piece of Italian architecture that suits its historical context. The house is primarily made of polyurethane, a versatile material which insulates and is eco-friendly as it was made to accumulate thermal energy.
See more of the project on the Pescetrullo website.

Interesting pics, although I have no idea what the written part of this post is trying to convey.
hmm ... interesting ... ?!
I don't get it. Standard polyurethane foam is NOT eco- friendly, I don't find the house inspiring and it's not even cheap; compared to, say, a container house, a straw-bale one or even a clay adobe ... my 2c ...
Ugly. Reminds me of "The Flintstones" movie.
this is the ugliest thing ive ever seen. barf. oh wait thats what it looks like.
"a contemporary piece of Italian architecture that suits its historical context."
Um - a Pink plastic house with a purple roof wouldn't fit the historical context of Mars.
"...with the bathrooms representing her two children." How very loving.
yuk
After seeing Pesce lecture, it seems like he's way more into the idea of the project than the final look. He was sooooo excited about the process.
Polyurethane is that not toxic especially in a fire?
