The south front is completely without windows because of the presence of the building of poor quality on the border.To the north front there are targeted windows towards the landscape, the terraced vineyards.The volume of the house contains a little protected private garden.On the first floor, the bedroom area is simply organized; The two bedrooms of the daughters has aterrace protected by a great overhang of the roofing.The owners’ bedroom has a loggia which frame the landscape view.

The materials used in this project are concrete, iron, wood and stone; the concrete walls are cast on site with wood chips pressed Osb waxed formworks which create a texture similar to the handmade plaster of the ancient rural houses in Valtellina.Iron has been treated with ferromicaceous paint tobacco color which unify all the different parts, coatings, windows frames, curtains, handrails, gates and outdoor furniture.Only one window on the north front and two sliding windows to the west front are white painted, to remember the ancient frames and splays of the ancient rural houses.
