'''''House of Dust''''' is a 2013 interior architecture project by Italian architect [[Antonino Cardillo]], located in [[Rome]]. The work juxtaposes [[classical orders]] and golden proportions with the metaphorical element of [[dust]], expressed through a [[grotto]]-like vaulted ceiling and a palette of earth and pale [[pink]] tones.<ref name="Dezeen">{{cite web |last=Frearson |first=Amy |title=House of Dust by Antonino Cardillo |url=https://www.dezeen.com/2013/08/05/house-of-dust-by-antonino-cardillo/ |website=Dezeen |date=5 August 2013 |access-date=12 March 2026}}</ref>

==Architecture==
''House of Dust'' explores the relationship between proportion, materiality and memory. A vaulted ceiling finished in rustic earth-toned plaster evokes primordial caverns and [[Grotesque|Renaissance grotesques]], while a sequence of elongated arches conceals doors and storage elements. The intimate rooms are characterised by pale pink walls and a pink glass doorknob marking the transition to the private areas.<ref name="AJ">{{cite magazine |last=Cardillo |first=Antonino |author2=Mara, Felix |title=House of Dust, Rome by Antonino Cardillo Architect |magazine=Architects' Journal Specification |publisher=EMAP |date=October 2013 |pages=4, 50–55 |url=https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/specification/house-of-dust-rome-by-antonino-cardillo-architect |access-date=12 March 2026}}</ref>
The architect described this house as a conceptual celebration of [[dust]]. Its design draws inspiration from primordial [[caverns]], Renaissance [[grottos]], the [[nymphaeum]] of Rome’s [[Villa Doria Pamphili]] and the faint Liberty facades along [[Via Veneto]]. Furthermore, it explores the idea of buildings as instruments for [[light]] creation, emphasising the importance of opaque materials in architecture to capture and manipulate light.<ref name="AJ">{{cite magazine |last=Cardillo |first=Antonino |author2=Mara, Felix |title=House of Dust, Rome by Antonino Cardillo Architect |magazine=Architects' Journal Specification |publisher=EMAP |date=October 2013 |pages=4, 50–55 |url=https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/specification/house-of-dust-rome-by-antonino-cardillo-architect |access-date=12 March 2026}}</ref>

House of Dust is an architectural work built in 2013 in Rome, designed by the Italian architect Antonino Cardillo. The project is characterised by a combination of different elements: a horizontal division based on the golden ratio, coarse plaster walls and brown ceilings, arched doorways, walls and ceilings in a pale shade of pink, and a cylindrical ghostly white curtain.[1]

The work was designed and built between September 2012 and March 2013 in a 100 m² apartment in the Rione Ludovisi of Rome.[1]

Architecture

The architect described this house as a conceptual celebration of dust. Its design draws inspiration from primordial caverns, Renaissance grottos, the nymphaeum of Rome’s Villa Doria Pamphili and the faint Liberty facades along Via Veneto. Furthermore, it explores the idea of buildings as instruments for light creation, emphasising the importance of opaque materials in architecture to capture and manipulate light.[2]
