Along with bricks, one of the main materials iswood, which is used not only for the building envelope but alsofor structural purposes. Here the architects take recourse totraditional techniques of the type that have been preserved inhandicrafts. All these elements come together to form an architecturewith a warm and earthy character that encompasses, in additionto the classic house, technically demanding architectural functionssuch as the creation of sports facilities, office buildings, orchurches.
