The idea and the need was to unify to the local context , according to precise input of the client, who wanted the new building to dialogue with the rural buildings in the area of intervention .
The development of the large roof and with double height porches, uses this input to create a functional appliance to the attributes of ecoeffectiveness that we wanted to achieve, in a building made of prefabricated timber structure, characterized by the use of natural and sustainable materials.
The technology chosen was wood frame, with composite wood panels walls, natural insulation with wood fiber, natural hemp fiber, etc.
The outer surface finishes are natural limebased plaster, wooden windows with double glazing system, waxed concrete floors finishing for the ground floor and outside areas, oak wood oil finished to the upper floors.
