Front-window bakery material. Catches the eye, delivers the goods.
Summary
Rome-based architecture firm Errante Architetture transformed an unremarkable 1960s house in northern Italy through a radical renovation and extension. Rather than demolishing the "anonymous" mid-century property, founders Sarah Becchio and Paolo Borghino restructured the existing building and added a new block alongside it, injecting new life and character into the structure. The project demonstrates innovative architectural approaches to revitalizing post-war residential buildings while preserving their original context.
