A small house located in the historic context of the small town of Laveno on Lake Maggiore.


In accordance with regulations, the house reproduces, with very few variations, the outline of a previously demolished building.


The foundations are made of metal gabions filled with stones, the structure is made of Piedmontese larch wood, the perimeter walls are filled with straw bales and plastered with lime, leaving the wooden structure exposed on the outside.


The project incorporates many salvaged materials: the external and internal window and door frames, roof tiles, parapets, gates, grates, and the stones in the small garden all come from the pre-existing building, from other demolitions or from local scrapyards.


The house is cut in two parts: in the shaded one, squeezed against the neighbouring house, are the stairs, bathrooms and a small attic. In the other half are the two main rooms, the balcony and the solar panels, facing the sun and the lake.

Una piccola casa situata nel tessuto storico della cittadina di Laveno, sul lago Maggiore.


Come stabilito dalle normative la casa riproduce, con pochissime variazioni, la sagoma di un edificio precedentemente demolito.


Le fondazioni sono realizzate in gabbioni metallici riempiti di pietrame, la struttura è in legno di larice piemontese, i muri perimetrali sono tamponati in balle di paglia e intonacati in calce, lasciando la struttura in legno a vista verso l’esterno.


Il progetto integra molti materiali di recupero: i serramenti esterni ed interni, le tegole, i parapetti, i cancelli, le grate, le pietre del piccolo giardino, provengono dall’edificio preesistente, da altre demolizioni o dai robivecchi del circondario.


La casa è tagliata in due dall’affaccio verso il lago e il sole. Nella parte in ombra, stretta contro la casa vicina, ci sono le scale, i bagni e una piccola mansarda. Nell’altra metà ci sono i due ambienti principali, il balcone e i pannelli fotovoltaici, rivolti verso il sole e il lago.
