The wish
Adaptive reuse of a Sassi dwelling without erasing the rock.
Transformation of a historic cave dwelling with contemporary glazing and conservation logic. The stone stays. The window is the only argument with the century.
- Method
- Minimal steel and glass inserted into existing voids. Conservation of the rock surface. Reversible fixings.
- Sustainability
- Reuse of a 9,000-year occupation. Thermal mass of the cave kept, not air-conditioned into irrelevance.
- Treatment
- Dusk over the Sassi. Interior limestone. One sheet of glass.
