description:
The house is located in the countryside of the municipality of Pollenza (MC), in the Campomaggio district within a completion area. The modern architecture of the building is linked and dialogues with traditional materials and techniques such as terracotta tiles and lime plaster used to create the building's cladding. The highly energy efficient house has photovoltaic, solar, heat pump and cooling systems. On the northern front, openings have been reduced to a minimum as the area is particularly exposed to the cold wind. In the southern part, however, larger windows have been opened, sheltered by roofs and overhangs which allow shading during the hot period of the year.
