EFFEVU HOUSE
The project is inserted within a stratified rural system composed of a stone house and a former barn, both carrying a precise scale and a clearly legible constructive memory. Rather than seeking a mimetic synthesis, the intervention works through critical continuity: a new volume is inserted between the two existing buildings, acting as an inhabited threshold capable of connecting without merging.
The extension stretches along the slope as a linear base, clad in stone, echoing the materiality and scale of the existing fabric while introducing a more abstract and controlled architectural language. A system of masonry piers and porticoes defines a rhythmic sequence of solids and voids, where light and landscape become active elements of the project. Large openings frame the valley, transforming the façade into a continuous visual device that mediates the relationship between interior and exterior.
Inside, spaces unfold as a fluid progression without rigid hierarchies. Exposed timber floors and the precision of the construction details clearly express the contemporary nature of the intervention, while maintaining a constant dialogue with the historic structures. The project can be read as an operation of long-term stitching: an architecture that holds together memory and transformation, assertion and restraint, without forcing reconciliation.
