The building has the primary stone envelope that contains the roof structure, which discharges to the ground on the main front with a vertical scan. This, in turn, is continued on the rear floor with full-height windows that offer a spectacular opening to the mountain landscape. The orientation of the building offers the most astonishing views.

The design intervention could not ignore the dialogue with the work of the great master. I, therefore, focused on a more compact and contemporary form with a well-defined identity inspired by the landscape of the surrounding mountains ” says Federico Delrosso.
