The project deals with restoring and enlarging a house from the early 20th century, planning open spaces and the park with the addition of a new garage into the hill. The enlargement of the main residence radically altered the character of the whole area. The choice of colours, receding fronts and large glazed surfaces contributed to emphasize the different character of the two volumes. One big layout links all open spaces to the buildings. The park was entirely redesigned to accentuate the woodland growing on the sloping ground and to characterize the large field underneath, so that the changing pitch of the terrain would totally conceal the new garage. This way, the complexity and quality of the whole area is preserved.
