This building was constructed as a recovery of a former rural structure that functioned as a stable and barn, presented to us in a ruined condition. The countryside still showcases many similar buildings adapted as homes.
Inspired by the typical barns of the area and not constrained to reconstruct the exact same building, we designed a two-story house with two large porticoes on a square plan and a 4-pitched roof. The flexibility of Kager construction technology and the lightness of wood allowed us to vary the shapes of the first floor compared to the ground floor, creating a singular movement of staggering between the two levels, resulting in a striking play of light and shadow.
Traditional and modern design elements.
Dynamic play of light and shadow.
Spacious two-story layout with large porticoes.
Tall pillars creating volumetric perception.
"The combination of solids and voids, along with tall pillars, offers a dynamic volumetric perception as sunlight accentuates the different volumes."
