Stone House was a neglected but structurally honest building from the early sixties: massive stone walls, low ceilings, dark corridors. The task was not to replace what was there, but to uncover it.
We removed the partition walls added in the eighties and restored the original, open logic of the ground floor. The stone walls were cleaned and left exposed in the living and dining areas, while a new layer (steel, oak, glass) was introduced precisely and sparingly, without imitating the old.
The windows on the south side were extended to the floor, opening a view onto the pine forest and admitting natural light the space had previously avoided entirely. The result is a house that feels as though it was always this way. As if someone had simply, finally, removed what was holding it back.
