The idea and the need was to unify to the local context , according to precise input of the client, whowanted 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 functionalappliance to the attributes of ecoeffectivenessthat we wanted to achieve, in a building made ofprefabricated timber structure, characterized by the use of natural and sustainable materials.
