Outside, the facade is covered in fir wood, the roof is pitched, with a tiled roof that recalls the local architecture; the darkening systems and sliding window frames are also made of wood, to offer sun protection and privacy, in harmony.
The original layout of the internal spaces has been respected: the different rooms of the house develop vertically, creating sculptural and interconnected interiors.

It is following this conscious use of material that the Diametro35 Inox Concrete series by Ritmonio was chosen for the bathroom. A powerful and innovative form of stylistic expression, capable of characterizing contemporary living spaces.
The solution combines the stainless steel body with the cement resin control, creating a furnishing element with a unique and original design.
