Casa a Lottano | emanuele scaramellini

Located in the small hamlet of Lottano, in the altitude band of the so-called 'mid-coast' of the mountains surrounding Chiavenna, the House in Lottano is a proving ground for the return to inhabitation of uninhabited villages.
The entire intervention is based on a respectful and complementary relationship with the existing rustic building and the entire context. The context is referred to both as the layout and typological characteristics of the buildings in the area, and as the Alpine environment in its natural and physical aspects.

The cleanliness of the interventions seeks to give weight to the substance of the choices, architecture is composed through its own elements, without resorting to slogans or ephemeral solutions aimed at changing only the appearance of the artefact and in the most superficial way.
