turning an old farmhouse into a modern home in caparola's countryside: project by delta studio

italian architectural design studio, delta studio breathes in a new life into a compact 145 sqm farmhouse in the caprarola countryside. with the studio's expertise in temporary architecture for urban space, the design has met the truest essence of modernity and simplicity that a homeowner could wish for; on the other side, it resembles a poetic gallery for one to meditate in timelessness. the renewed home was designed for martina and her beloved family, with an intuitive nuance that speaks no more than three languages; a monochromatic black and white, and a glimpse of warm wood accents lingering in some interior corner. her wish is not less than to manage the family farming activity amongst the rows of hazels with the all-new expanded old farmhouse, as an actual home for her to be a refuge keen to establish a harmonious relationship with nature. the subdivision of the space guarantees the house plan harmony into three bands; the most congenial one overlooks the fields to the south, a space for them to contemplatively daydreaming and get lost in the panorama of the lake. read the full story https://bit.ly/3v2hIpN
