Rural Housing: Thresholds of Serenity
Cascina Lossano, Italy 09-2023A competition entry to revive Cascina Lossano's historical complex while preserving authenticity initiates a new chapter for this Lombard farmhouse. Our design integrates duplex units, forming distinct vertical thresholds while blending boundaries within each dwelling. Inspired by the original Cascina layout, it balances historical influences like the Stable with innovative alterations to the Manor House symmetry. This approach aims to harmonize rural and urban living, preserving historical structures like the Pigsty and Storage. Using timber framing and mass timber, these structures become meaningful public thresholds, offering a seamless blend of tradition and contemporary living.
