The renovation of a single-family home offers an opportunity to work on a local identity torn apart by the explosion of suburban construction. The historical toponym, Cassina del Pero, inspires a reinterpretation of the architectural features of the Lombard farmhouse, particularly the walled courtyard and the loggia. The enclosure provides privacy to the garden and includes a detached garage into a hortus conclusus. The double loggia expands each room outward, revolutionizing the original living standard. Material continuity, formal counterpoint, and radical color are the foundation of an abstract language able to handle the farmhouse typological archetype without historicism.
