BL.11.6
📐Designer: Brambilla Orsoni Architetti Associati
📍Location: Chiavasco, Serravalle, Canton Ticino, Switzerland
🛠 Contractor: Cittadini Reto Lavori Edili Sagl, G.F. Fioroni

The intervention operates on a rustic building from the 16th century in the Blenio Valley in the Canton of Ticino. The project involved changing the use from a rustic animal shelter to a second home through careful maintenance of the typological characteristics and selective consolidation of the deteriorated parts.
The insertion of a wooden box containing the new living functions within the building has allowed for adequate isolation of the spaces through a constant air recycling. The Fassa Bortolo materials used belong to the Fassa Bortolo Integrated System, specifically the A1 white adhesive and leveling compound for Ytong expanded cellular concrete blocks and Bio-finish plaster white S605, breathable with a marmorino effect, used indoors to plaster the Ytong blocks.
