The project involves the restoration and reuse of two old farm buildings located in a small mountain village in northern Italy. The project is an exercise of "correct practice" intervention in a strongly traditional historical context, transforming the existing with respect and adapting it to contemporary use.
The house is situated at the entrance of Val Bregaglia, in Northern Italy, in the middle of the 16th century rural settlement of Crana. In the late ‘700 the village had more than a hundred inhabitants, but nowadays it’s in a state of semi-abandonment and the few restored buildings are almost exclusively used as holiday homes.
