RENOVATION IN THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF MONTALCINO
Client: Privato
Realization: 2021
Location: Montalcino (SI)

The intervention took place on a 14th-century toll house distinguished by a prominent Sienese Gothic arch overlooking the historical center of Montalcino.
The ravages of time and the heavy stratification of past interventions had rendered the spaces within the property stifling, damp and difficult to use. The challenge of this project lay in the ability to preserve the stylistic elements of the property while optimizing internal volumes through the use of local materials such as terracotta, wood and travertine, while introducing modern solutions to significantly improve energetic efficiency as with the installation of breathable insulation using natural materials. The result is a sophisticated environment that marries traditional taste with clean, contemporary forms.
