Two cottages rediscovered among the vineyards in the hinterland of Lake Garda, joined by an extension built with the same stones that, years ago, were used by the farmers of these fields to build their houses. The stones in the new extension are joined by a cement with a pigment that recalls the color of the earth, seeking continuity with tradition. However, everything that is new is detached from the existing: the expansion, which seeks a slight detachment from the existing, gently declaring itself, the new volumes containing the functional spaces which are placed inside the old stone walls. All the materials recall those of tradition which, in their being imperfect, recall their making and are therefore humanizing.
