Sensorìa is located in the central area on the island of Lipari, Aeolian islands. It consists of a loft inside the volcanic earth and a exterior house at the upper level.

Inside the Sensorìa House there are a sitting room with a small kitchen and one bedrooms. The design of the summer house is totally integrated in the volcanic landscape and the cubistic architecture of Aeolian islands in a more contemporary twist.
