Il tempietto project is inspired by an emblematic work of Roman renaissance architecture: Bramante’s Tempietto, can be seen in the San Pietro in Montorio convent, which today is the headquarters of the Spanish Academy. Drawing on its surroundings to underline its poetical power, the cabin, designed by ane architecture, forges unique links with the cultural and historical landscape of the Villa Medici gardens where it is located. This structure reproduces the proportions and design of Bramante’s Tempietto: the base, the peristyle, the interior space, and the cupola.
Each element is translated in a modern way and relates to the idea of a cabin: the identical wooden elements can be assembled quickly and the fabric that envelops the structure emphasizes the light, delicate nature of the project, creating a canopy that is open to the wind and rain but which offers a secluded area for visitors. Nestling in one of the rectangles of the Villa Medici Garden, Il tempietto allows visitors to spend a peaceful moment of quiet reflection under the shade of the trees.

About ane architecture
ane architecture is an architectural practice based in Pantin (France), founded by Laura Chérubin and Gaspard Clozel. It is focused on the way in which function and construction, understood as philosophical concepts, can create architectural form.
ane architecture looks for structured and contextualized solutions – in time and in space – and always emphasizes that they must be sober, generous, sustainable, and cost-conscious. Convinced that these answers are only relevant if they embody ideas of social integration, a sense of living together and a spirit of tolerance, they aim to contribute to a renovation of our surroundings that is fairer, more viable, and more beautiful.
