AB The relationship between domestic architecture and its surroundings, or in other words, the link between the space inhabited by human beings and the adjoining nature, continues to enjoy a wide audience today, as this type of construction has proliferated in recent years, maintaining and even increasing the demand for residences in locations far from urban centres. In an attempt to offer an alternative to the sometimes destructive actions carried out on ecosystems in different parts of the world, this research offers a sensitive look at the relationship between architecture and the natural elements that surround it through an analysis of the work of Italian architect Alberto Ponis (1933-2024). His summer houses, located mainly on the north coast of Sardinia, represent a paradigmatic example of intervention in an environment of natural value characterised by rugged granite topography and vegetation that, like many coastlines today, suffered the destructive consequences of the tourist pressure of the ‘60s. Based on the analysis of a selection of case studies contained in his architectural repertoire, the fundamental values that distinguish Alberto Ponis' architecture and that have ensured the integration, symbiosis and practically the visual disappearance of these residences into their surroundings are deeply explored. Each of these houses is complemented by other unique examples in which their designers offered a singular vision of the integration of the domestic scale into the natural environment of the Mediterranean coast. Through the analysis of these architectures, embedded in a silent and largely unknown “avant-grade”, I have sought to highlight a way of understanding architectural design distinguished by its respect for vernacular architecture and landscape memory of the places where they sit.
