The Langhe stone walls were simply cleaned, without grouting or additions, and the existing roof timbers were sanded and integrated with new planks. A small wooden extension was added to the original volume, which simultaneously serves as a winter garden connected to the living space and a treehouse among the branches of the large plane tree.
