Near the Valli Toffan lakes located within the Euganean Hills Park, the Tommasi Architecture studio has redeveloped an old barn. While on the one hand there was the need to respect the morphology of the building, on the other there was the need to find design solutions that reflect contemporary needs.
The protagonist of the project is certainly the large gabled roof that overlooks the rectangular plan of the building. Three sides of the rectangle have various openings that in some cases have been shielded by sunshades. The long side overlooking the large loggia has been completely emptied. This solution made it possible to obtain a large glass surface that overlooks the garden and at the same time prevents direct sunlight from entering the interior.
