Since the building has belonged to the same family for generations, emotional and affective issues certainly weighed heavily in the customer's decision to recover it. Therefore, the customer was granted maximum planning and decision-making autonomy.

Inside, typical materials such as hand-made red terracotta tiles have been used for floors and ceilings. Wood, another recurring material in this kind of buildings, has also been used to a considerable extent: in fact, the entire roof, part of the floors and the steps of the staircase are made of wood.
All these elements have been installed and assembled by skilled workers that are increasingly difficult to find, because they are familiar with craftsmanship and ancient construction technologies that are getting lost.

The aesthetic value inherent in the exposed brick facings, in the barrel vaults, in the terracotta floors, has inevitably translated into the use of a color palette that plays between yellow and red tones, which give the house a warm and welcoming atmosphere, informal yet refined at the same time.
The very use of the "dead door" as an entrance is an explicit reference to the past, in this case from a functional point of view, and to the original use of this environment. In fact, even in the old peasant houses it acted as a filter environment, separating the housing block from that intended for stables and barns.
