Ground Floor Plan for Torre Quatro Venti

About this work

This sketch shows a rough floor plan of a house drawn in pen, ink, and colored pencil. Walls, doors, and rooms like a kitchen, hall, and servants’ quarters are labeled in messy handwriting. A pergola runs along one side, and a garden sits below, with notes about stairs and terraces. The artist scribbled in tiny details like "covered loggia" and "pine trees below," showing how they thought about outdoor spaces. The drawing looks hurried but full of ideas—like a quick brainstorm for building something real.
