Renovation of a Stone Village House

This project concerns the renovation of a small stone village house, located at the heart of an old built environment. The intervention seeks to reveal the existing character of the place while introducing a contemporary, understated and functional interior language.

The house is organized around two main rooms. On the ground floor, the living area brings together the lounge and kitchen within an open, bright and convivial volume. Upstairs, the bedroom, office and bathroom form a more intimate space, designed to meet everyday needs within a compact surface area.

The project is based on a deliberately simple material palette: a concrete floor, white walls and large plywood elements. The concrete provides a mineral and durable base, in dialogue with the existing stone walls. The plywood, used to structure the interior fittings, the kitchen and certain pieces of furniture, introduces a warm and domestic presence.

The objective was to create a house that is simple, bright and comfortable, where every element has a clear function. Storage, the kitchen and circulation spaces are carefully integrated in order to optimize the use of the house without overloading the volumes.
