The Coura House project starts from the need to rehabilitate a country house with two centuries of history, abandoned by the heirs who went on to build new houses in the surroundings. This small scale construction, now purchased to become a holiday home, featured two floors and an original functional program consisting of an animal shelter (lower floor) and a dwelling (upper floor).
