The project reimagines a building in the Rural Core "Mottaccio" of Madesimo (SO), a landscape defined by its undulating terrain, meadows, and forests.

Historically used for mountain farming, the structure has now been repurposed as a seasonal residence. The project pays tribute to this conversion by preserving traditional materials like stone and lime plaster that narrate the building’s transformation over time.

The structure, rebuilt on the site of the first parcel, consists of a single level with a setback opening and a newly expanded south-facing facade, finished in lime plaster. The layout spans two floors: the ground floor hosts a sleeping area with a room, bathroom, and multifunctional space, while the upper floor features the living area, framed by a large window that faces westward.

The connection between the two volumes is defined by contrasting facades: the west-facing window reflecting the landscape and a solid plaster wall on the east side.The east facade, visible from the street, remains closed, while the west facade opens to expansive views. Respecting the natural slope of the land, the exterior is defined by small walls and a staircase that marks the boundaries of the outdoor space. The design adapts the building to modern residential use while remaining deeply rooted in the local landscape and respectful of the building tradition.
