Renewal of an old barn, Montevecchia
A small architecture with a beautiful view, compact on the sides, like a shell that opens and reveals the interiors through the main facade window. In summer the best view is enjoyed from the first floor, over the crops that form a compact wall about two meters high. Original brick walls of the existing rural building are preserved and wrapped by the new interior and exterior coatings that surround them like a second skin.
