The old building was distributed on two levels with different function, stable at ground floor and barn at first floor. On the outside the existing building is characterized by two overlapping doors on east elevation, a great entrance on south elevation, a little independent volume still on south.

The new volume, based on traditional forms, doesn’t distort the context relations and proportions. It’s obtain a building strongly connected to the context that revise some important elements of the old building. The double overlapping doors becomes the great wood and glass façade on east elevation.

The great rectangle, useful to rural practice in the past, in the present it contains the windows and become the main character of the new house. Even more it’s proposed again the same entrance hierarchy and level distribution. Main purpose of this project is to build a new house that, respecting the context, proposes a traditional volume using existing marks to compose a contemporary architecture.
