The Lalli Residence,
A poem in red oxide and light.
For a mother and son,
a home was dreamt —
to live, to create, to simply be.
Bound by gardens,
held by light,
it stretches deep, not wide.
Walls open to air,
a window beneath the stair,
watching the garden breathe.
Rooms shift and yield —
from quiet brushstrokes
to evenings of cinema and art.
A studio above,
a mattress slides,
space transforms as needed.
Red oxide skin catches the sun —
like pigment, like memory,
like the name it wears.
This home does not announce itself.
It listens. It adapts. It endures.
