Consolidation and restoration of the house must necessarily relate to the landscape, because the house is an element of the landscape, evidence of a relationship of respect between man and nature. Therefore, to preserve the landscape, new interventions beyond their static function and functional.

A system of trails and views allows you to read the landscape in several different perspectives and multiple levels, highlighted by the presence of a large staircase that reaches from the ground floor of the balcony.

To preserve the intimacy of the casino also access at home has been diverted through a gallery projected in the vacuum of the quarry, which becomes an additional overlooking to enjoy an enviable landscape. The geometry of the new openings, while draws prospects with rhythmic step, provides depth in through areas of light and shadow, in a sequence of spaces that do not impogono single view outside.
