I'm sorry because I had a very short time to work to this project, so the pictures are not so nice, but I'm sure the design is good. So I hope you can use a little bit of your imagination to see the entire project like me. The addition wants to show out as a distinct architectural element, not hiding his contemporary, but still being in dialogue with the existing building. The link is expressed mainteining the geometry of the old house and choosing materials consistent with the historic building types in mountainous areas. The new building is divided into two volumes: the first used as a kitchen and dining area, the second as a connection between this and the existing building. The separation between two main volumes, as well as to emphasize the formal difference, allows the illumination of the entrance of the house through the original window. The total lack of openings in the north wall and almost in the entire height of the west wall allows many configurations for the new kitchen; here an example is shown. Instead, the east wall almost completely glazed, opens the view over the valley and provides the right lighting of interior space. Then, a system of sliding panels can obscure the large window without substantially changing the linear profile of the building. The addition is a wooden building. This choice involves a lightweight, quick production, comfort, energy efficiency. The structure consists of a frame in laminated wood; the walls are composed of panels of wood fiber with inside layers of insulating materials. Facilities and discharges of stormwater pass inside the walls. The ceilings are made of copper plates. The outer shell is the wooden slats, and the same finish canbe applied to the internal walls (according with the existing room ofthe building), which alternatively can be rendered.
