Constructed on what used to be a woodshed, the new annex was designed and built in harmony with the existing home, dating back to the early 1900s. The new building covers about 80 square meters, developing horizontally on a single floor. The interior is very bright thanks to the presence of numerous windows that decorate both sides of the annex. The fireplace, located in a strategic area inside the flat, allows for the heating of the entire building even at the height of the winter season, thus avoiding the use of the heat pump system (which is available but rarely used).
The house is built with insulating and sound-absorbing materials, and has all the features of a lightweight prefabricated building.
The windows, in the British style, recall the shape of those of the main house. Fully recyclable, the annex uses eco-friendly energy systems such as a solar-powered heat pump system located on the roof, LED lighting systems, and electric hotplates in the kitchen. The external finishes are in larch wood with horizontal slats painted with white water-based enamel.
