Starting from a dilapidated ruin with a regular layout—typical of traditional Venetian farmhouses—the project has resulted in a comfortable, modern home characterized by aesthetic minimalism. The original building lacked the necessary volume to be made habitable, making it essential to raise the floor levels and construct an additional adjoining volume. Through targeted structural and energy-efficiency interventions, it was also possible to redefine the facades with a more elegant and contemporary appearance.

The original rhythm of the openings was preserved, as was the double-pitched roof shape, which was outlined without extending the eaves. Key architectural features include the window frames and the sculptural entrance portico, whose form was determined by a protected zone that diagonally intersects the property. On the opposite side, away from the road, a ribbon window was introduced to create a visual and functional connection between the old and the new volumes.

The focal point of the interior is a micro-perforated metal staircase with an innovative design—an element of contrast within the otherwise orderly space. Clearly inspired by Doh Ho Suh’s Staircase III, it connects to the ceiling and remains suspended above the ground, appearing to float over the living room floor.
