Corte San Ruffillo, Dovadola (FC), Italy, 2019 – 2021
The purpose of the project is to extend the area’s offer, enhancing the use of the surrounding natural landscape within a farmhouse with biological restaurant, with an adjoining wellness center. The colors and materials of the new building reflect the existing ones in the complex: the stone for the base and the flooring, the off-white color of the plasters used for the metal structures, the wood for the roofing.
The use of the flat roof wants to mark the difference in the era of the buildings, keeping the new as low as possible while not compressing the interior spaces. The façades, in which opaque and transparent partitions alternate, are paced by metal pillars that give elegance and sobriety. The change of heights also ensures a profile of the building more similar to the sum of many different volumes and built in succession, rather than a single body.
