Cantarutti's work can be found in Friuli Venezia Giulia , including the "House on the River" where he lives with his family.

The award-winning "House on the River" by Robby Cantarutti and Francesca Petricich

Influenced by Bauhaus and Le Corbusier , Cantarutti combines mainstream rationalism with organic style. Cantarutti enjoys global attention. His masterpiece, Cabin at the River (House on the River) was also the subject of the film "Cabin at the River" by Silvia Zeitlinger and was awarded the Green LEAF Award 2015 for the best single-family house in 2015. It became the most photographed and filmed modern single house in Italy. Leading lifestyle companies such as Illy and Knoll use the house as a film location for their advertising purposes.
