The project regards the complete renovation of a detached villa of 4,300 square feet and an extension of 17,222 square feet. The existing building is completely redesigned with the installation of wooden facades with timbered shading systems. From the new-built garages a vertical distribution gets through the entire project and distributes the different property units. The new building, originally designed to be constructed with a wooden panel technology (X-lam), has been built with precast concrete panels covered in wood. The project is built at the far end of the settlement, at the edge of a spruce pines and larches forest. The layout of expansion has been the result of the relationship between the forest and the available land. The volume of the corridor connecting the existing building and expansion divides the section of the steep slopes into an upper garden and a paved plaza below. The new building is an insert to the existing volume and is detached from it both physically and in an expressive way. This new building is also a unique volume that concentrates the extension in a simple design and plays with the existing building both as regard to shapes — explicitly modern — and materials. ...
