The intervention provides a silent dialogue with the surroundings, a simple expression in a
landscape characterized by continuous and steady pastoral hills. There are spaces of
intimacy, reflection and contemplation directing the view outwards and beyond its limits
to experience the subtle sensory impressions of the place.
The site has a deep sense of tranquility, a place where the air is clean, light and gentle.
At this location, a horizontal gesture was introduced to enhance the landscape and to
emphasize the intrinsic qualities of the environment.
Two volumes articulated by the main entrance, reach their greatest expressions in the
nuances of light and shadow. The white volumetric composition accentuates its lightness
and the relationship it seeks to achieve with the serene atmosphere.
