Located in a hamlet in Tuscany, the olive grove had an existing building which was too weak to cope with the seismic regulations and could not be renovated. The local planning rules stipulate that a new building of similar volumetric capacity could be built on the site.

The project is a family retreat house composed of a living area, a bathroom and two bedrooms. Surrounded by a pergolas and wood columns, the house is open to the landscape, shaded and naturally ventilated.
