Entry Description

Off the grid and on an isolated vineyard, the two volumes play off one another, with the more modern twin peeking out from the historic one. The pitched roof and the inverted pitch are visible on the interior telling the story of their relationship, as does the position of the waterspout on the walled façade on the west – suggesting something collecting water behind the wall. Glass on two of the four walls at the connection of the existing was to resist touching the fienile with the new stone walls. The fienile is now a sculpture studio for a family deep into the arts.
