The concept consists of the renovation of rural architecture and the demolition of an adjacent volume built in the Sixties. Besides rediscovering the simple and harmonious proportions of the original building, the partial demolition allows the new project to enhance the site’s features, compressed between two built areas and open to the countryside.
