Wow factor rural design
Atelier Architecture and Design was the creative brain behind this stunning contemporary home, christened La Madonnina. The project combines timber cladding wiThextensive aluminium framed glazing. This specific palette of materials was chosen to help the scheme blend into the surrounding rural landscape. The south-facing rear soaks up magnificent countryside views through vast swathes of glass and the dwelling’s orientation bathes the house in natural light. This enables the homeowners to harness warmth from the sun (passive solar gain), helping to lower heating bills.
