Over our 30 years of experience in restoration work we have cultivated a profound interest in sustainable architecture. The utilization of traditional materials, natural light, lime, salvaged materials and objects found on construction sites, and vegetation comprise our working “palette,” and we weave into all of our projects a deep respect of the landscape and cultural traditions.

30 years of experience working with old-stone houses has led us to investigate why indoor temperatures never dip considerably in winter and remain cool in summer. To date, energy efficient houses have been built following the Nordic model. In central Italy this model insulates a house in winter but is inefficient in summer, requiring homes to be equipped with air conditioning. For this reason we have worked to develop a bioclimatic mediterranean architecture that combines the comfort of a stone house in summer with that of a well insulated modern home in winter. And we have discovered an amazing material: hempcrete.

Studio Archittetura ed Ambiente specializes in restorations and bio-architecture, as can be discovered in Sustainable restorations and Bioclimatic mediterranean architecture. We are deeply committed to utilizing ancient yet very modern materials, hempcrete being a case in point.

We are passionate about our work. Each project is distinct in that each landscape, each location, each setting is distinct. And, of course, all of our clients invest much of themselves in helping to bring to life their dream.
