About the project

Nestled in the "Parco Naturale della Valle del Ticino" nature park, this house was built in timber frame construction and stands out for its unconventional architecture.

For the owners, beekeepers by passion and profession, the connection with nature was particularly important; accordingly, the living area on the ground floor is on one level with direct access to the surrounding green spaces.

The pre-fired wooden façades using the "Shou-Sugi-Ban" method, a traditional Japanese technique for preserving wood dating back to the 18th century, and the dark-colored metal cladding on the street side are a real highlight without being obtrusive.
