Moghegno, Valle Maggia, Ticino, 2015, rustic building restoration:
The rustic building is located in a charming area of Valle Maggia between Moghegno and Lodano, called Todesc’.
Like other constructions of this type, it had been disused for some time although it was in fairly good condition. The owners, who are dedicated to the passionate recovery of ancient vineyards in the area according to traditional techniques, turned to us in order to have a building that would serve as a base for their ancillary activity.
The intervention was conservative and aimed at revalorising the buildings, in harmony with their surroundings. The ground floor, formerly the stable, was converted into a living room and kitchen, while the upper floor, formerly the barn, was used as a bedroom and study, maintaining the original unified space. Worthy of note is the work of consolidation and recovery of the numerous dry-stone walls on the site, which contribute to giving the whole a unified and coherent appearance.
