Canali Mansion in Tovo (SO) - structural improvement
The listed building suffered a completely ruined rear facade.
The previous overall volume was reconstructed using a new structure entirely made with glass and wood that perfectly blended with the existing building.
The framework panels function both as a formal element of the structure as well as playing a role as horizontal stiffening and sunlight reflector.
