The project

A farmhouse among the pines

At Musignano, in the countryside of Città della Pieve, we renovated a traditional stone farmhouse from top to bottom, to a design by Arch. Riccardo Miluzzo, with structures and works management by Ing. Patrizio Petrucci. Work began in December 2020 and was completed in 2022.

We worked on the foundations and floors, rebuilt the timber roof with a clay-tile covering, strengthened the openings in the stone walls with new lintels, renewed the services with underfloor heating and landscaped the outdoor areas.
