Description

For the
structural part of a construction we prefer to use wood,
which, coming from
forests
certified, gives the certainty of respect for the environment, an action not
possible through the use of concrete.

We love
dedicate ourselves uniquely to our clients, that is, we avoid dealing with
several construction sites at the same time, this is to ensure that each stage of the
workmanship is attended to analytically and to offer everyone our
most qualified workers.

We adopt,
for this, the straw bale as an insulated brick, to build structures
with high energy performance, exploiting the potential of a material that
is actually a waste in the food production chain. The sustainable house
par excellence. We alternately use wood fiber, cork, wool from
sheep, etc.

Ours is
an ongoing research that spans time, in fact we reevaluate many other
materials used in the past. We have revived the use of
canapulo, a material
historically known in Italy, which mixed with slaked lime creates a
simple but exceptionally effective thermo-plaster.

We specialize
in the use
of earth
raw earth for making plasters and floors, and techniques such as the
tadelakt, an ancient Moroccan practice, which allows the imagination to be unleashed
in the creation of designer bathrooms.
