Another characteristic that made the project sustainable has been the use of recycled material and the artisanal execution of the worksite; finishing of the walls, floor, roof, decoration, sanitary elements and fittings like tap and faucets are craft made. Most of the furniture and some lamps and decor elements are handmade too and produced directly by the designer. “….when I entered in that place for the first time It was immediately clear to me the potential to generate a gentle hideout spot and I found a lot of inspiration from the leftovers present all around, materials and segments of old staff lying on the floor; so I decided to use it. For example the outdoor sliding gate and the interior stair are made of a metal steel sheet used before for a storage in a mezzanine.
