Article source: AArchitects The classical theme of the big barn with stables on the ground floor and an added body, normally for the deposit of foliage, on the extension of the roof. All the same and all different, small machines for the processing of crops, hay and leaves, milk and manure.  Image Courtesy © AArchitects

Image Courtesy © AArchitects  Image Courtesy © AArchitects Here too, the change of use proposes themes partly usual and partly new. On the side of the village we have choosen to keep the design of the old facade, hiding behind wooden lattices the new windows. Towards the campaign the inspiration comes from an old shed that was leaning against the main building; the new volume containes a loggia and the entrance stairway. Even the use of the materials is modulated on the same concept, on the one hand the recovery of the original mortars and on the other the use of bushhammered concrete; alltogether unified by massive larch and covered with new-old flat tiles.

Hence the aim of not altering the balance between the volumes of the village and at the same time not to erase the memory of grandfather’s barn.

Walls and floors are covered with fir boards; the atmosphere is warm, the light filtered through the wooden screens of the windows creates a soft-lighted atmosphere.

The old stone walls have been left exposed.

The closets are built-in the wooden paneling of the walls, the perimeter of the rooms is a homogeneous envelope marked vertically by the steady pace of fir boards.
