wooden refuge








EXiT architetti associati was asked to design the conversion of a barn into a holiday home in Selva di Cadore. The client and family adores the surrounding mountains. As with all conversion projects, the starting point was the careful removal of wooden elements and structural joints. The Architect have removed a few annexes that limited the original volume to give a sense of enormity of space. The building is totally energy self-sufficient thanks to a photovoltaic system integrated within the roof which is made of larch. It also generates zero emissions thanks to an electric under-floor heating system.
