Completed by Modo Studio in 2009, this single family house is located in Tuscany, a region in central Italy. Looking like an old warehouse, the dwelling is the result of a spectacular conversion: an agricultural barn was completely rebuild in its shape using recovery stones from the old building. The architects explain on their website: “The particular roof system has been built following a local tradition which was performed in a contemporary way. The new openings create windows which allow to enjoy the beautiful views from all the sides of the house. The stones and the white plasters of the windows width create a sophisticated atmosphere which gives to the building a strong image. Passive solar systems make the house heating to be completely self sufficient.” Moreover, its location on the top of the hill offers amazing views facing the sea and the islands just in front of Tuscany.
