This house, with an useful floor area of 45 sqm, is the perfect place for a weekend break. It keeps the original outline, changing only the existing stairwells, through the usage of weathering steel that dimensions its usage according to the visual weight, so to not hierarchize the absence of mass.

The house is divided in two floors: the social room, on the ground floor, enjoys the direct relation with the outdoor areas, while the suite, located on the first floor, can be reached by indoor stairs, used for storage and but also to separate the rooms. The original outline was as important as the contemporary style added to the building. Clear colours and a minimalist language were used in order to maximize the bounds and give an idea of wider and open area.
