On the exterior, the variation in materials of the cladding emphasises
the characteristic rhythm of the architecture, while the choice of
black and white shades evokes the winter atmosphere of the region.

A contemporary transformation that honours history
The Ash Tree House gets its name from the abundance of ash
trees in the surrounding forest, a material that has been widely
integrated into the construction to create a direct connection with
its environment. This symbolic choice illustrates how this renovation
project successfully reinvents an old house by honouring its history
and environment. It is a project that embodies the balance between
modernity and heritage, reflecting La Nony FAMILI's sensitive,
creative, and sustainable approach. dw
