And it is precisely from the desire to offer a magnificent glimpse of the naturalistic beauties of the place that the architects of Obicua have conceived and built an open building, with a carefully studied exterior view that allows you to admire the landscape of the region while respecting the surrounding environment.

The volume, in fact, is compact in order not to lose heat, while the footprint on the ground has been reduced as much as possible to degrade the ground with the construction site as little as possible.
