Tiziana Monterisi & Alessio Colombo (IT)

We have never loved easy things, and, even less, trivial things. We have always chased the passion for what made us feel good and gave us satisfaction. When we realized that making a “rice house” was really possible, we jumped right into the project, which began an innovative quest to put a twist on the already known stereotypes in the field of architecture. Our story began long before 2016 when Ricehouse was officially born.
We are from Lombardy by birth, but we are based in Biella, which is 100 km from Turin and 100 km from Milan. Living in Biella and discovering its surroundings, has allowed us to become more aware of its ecosystem, understanding the potential of this area. We have been able to lead the example to make our dreams real. We propose to the world what we have built for ourselves: a non-energy-consuming home. We define ourselves as ecological natives.”
