The rebirth of a fisherman’s home

This building was originally a fisherman’s home, small and adequate for the basic needs for everyday living.

We added a room and bathroom on the roof, made of the same stone of the ground floor. To increase the space of the ground floor, the middle walls were replaced by arches, that, along with the level differentiation, create a smooth continuum among the different uses of the area. The wooden beams of the ceiling used to be masts in fishing boats.

We kept is as simple as possible by avoiding usual furniture and using instead concrete constructions in the place of sofas and cupboards.

The old house was reborn into a cozy, bright, minimal summer home.
