The courtyard farm created a strange angle. The arrangement of the various buildings that make up the farmstead was not completely square, and not quite right in orientation. The exact alignment and precise hooking of the position of the various buildings is projected back onto the existing arrangement. In an initial consideration, a strange drawing. In a second look, a particular outcome. A constant retaking of elements that make up the drawing of the original farmstead becomes the leitmotif. The context is taken apart and put back together, just so differently. Precision is the key.

Windows become frames that narrate the space
A home filled with peace, built with a few essential gestures and a palette of materials in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The anthracite-colored windows by Edilpiù take center stage in this visual narrative.
