House, 213 m² Cogne, Aoste (province)
Description
In the ancient village of Cogne, a hamlet of Sonveulla, there is a building of historical importance dating back to the dawn of the 20th century, inserted in a residential context that embodies the authenticity of the Valdostana vernacular architecture.
The property, which needs a conservative restoration, offers the opportunity to build three separate residential units, thus enhancing its residential vocation while respecting its historical-architectonic importance.
The main building is on three levels, with a lateral aggregation to a recently renovated adjacent building, maintaining the other facades free. The building casing consists of a traditional supporting masonry, while the roof has a wooden structure with a Losese surface, typical of the Alpine architecture. The external walls show the authenticity of the local materials: exposed stone, lime plaster and wood elements of Valdostana workmanship.
The conservative renovation project will have to preserve and enhance the type and morphological features of the building, combining the needs for functional adaptation with respect for the original system. It is foreseen that it will be possible to intervene on the western façade with the opening of two new holes, respecting the pre-existing full-vault relationships. Furthermore, the use of the attic volume will allow the optimization of the internal distribution, creating another floor habitable and thus maximizing the usability of the available spaces.
The surrounding context is enhanced by the presence of two significant poles of historical-cultural interest: the Chapel of Sonvuella, an example of sacred Alpine architecture, and the Ethnic museum Maison de Cogne Gérard Dayné, a tangible evidence of local material culture.
These elements help to define a fine area, where the recovery intervention is part of a larger regeneration process of the historic building heritage.
