Intragna, Centovalli, Ticino, 2006. Family House Renovation:
The building, constructed in 1961 of brickwork without thermal insulation and with single-glazed windows, no longer met energy-saving requirements.
With the intervention, we gave the building an increased standard of quality through the application of an external coat and wood slat cladding. This cladding reaches up to the ridge line, thus giving the building a new architectural appearance, and has also allowed the original structure and roofing to be maintained. The cladding elements are less dense where there are openings, which allows light to filter through. To the north, the slightly concave façade is illuminated to create a dramatic effect.
