Falts for Sale
 
Country House

June 2005




This is the result of a demolition and reconstruction of an old farmhouse.
The job was given to the architect Barbero only after the structure was realized. As a matter of fact this is a project for interior design and finishes. The aim of the project was to re-establish the formal simplicity, typical of farmhouses, but the use of materials for the achievement of this purpose is innovative. Wood, iron, glass and stone, all traditional materials, assume a sober and contemporaneous elegance thanks to clean and essential lines. The stair is the central element, steps are made of teak essence and they are directly sticking out towards the void, without any other hold apart from the wall, from which they come out. The alternation of full and empty volumes, emphasized by glass used also as floor, the reduction of design lines, the great attention paid to lighting in order to create areas of shadow and light, originate an essential but comfortable ambience where the emotion of the “country house” is fully regained. External entrances must really be seen!!!
