Rustic charm in a historic house
In the hills of Biella, Tommaso, Marta, and their daughter Matilde, guided by architect Valeria Janno, have brought new life to a residence with a strong 18th-century character, creating a refined and evocative setting.

Monica Spezia - Living Inside
Frescoed vaults, antique cement tiles, marble fireplaces, wrought-iron railings and plasterwork in unexpected colours tell the story of the house. The spaces flow naturally: large arched windows connect the living area with the garden, creating an environment that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors and emphasises a sense of naturalness and harmony with the landscape.
In keeping with this principle, breathable, natural materials from the Biocalce range were chosen for the outdoor areas, from the skirting to the walls, whilst the interior floors were laid with H40 No Limits. A project that, through skilful restoration, captures the rustic essence of contemporary bien vivre.
