A faceted red surface creates geometric patterns across the exterior of this house in southern Italy that architect Giacomo Garziano has renovated for his parents . The building has been Garziano’s parents’ home for 40 years. It also accommodates the Italian office of art collective Elephants and Volcanoes.

“Everything is integrated in the Voronoi organic structure,” he explained. “The digitally fabricated wooden cells contain kitchen, LED lighting system, closets, bookshelves, audio system, pantry and so on.”
