The project:

Here, the use of natural materials such as wood, Iron and stone, combined with a contemporary design with industrial accents, has created a unique and balanced environment, capable of blending tradition and modernity.
The new distribution of spaces

The upper floor, especially, has been completely rethought, now housing a large open plan living area with integrated kitchen and lounge, three bedrooms (one double and two for children), a pantry and two bathrooms.
Materials and design: A combination of rustic and industrial
