Boasting the highest per capita income in Piedmont, Pino Torinese is nicknamed the Beverly Hills of Turin’s hills.
It is a small village surronded by villas and housing compunds scattered in the green. Here we worked on a poor quality, mid century modern villa, nested in lush vegetation on the border of a park. The garden is steep and almost unusable for the openair living which such a setting would suggest.
Being forced to get rid of the existing 2 slopes asbestos cement roof, we suggested to trade it for a fl at one. A new steel frame bears a roof garden complete with pool, solarium, open air kitchen and shaded lunch area, which quickly became the heart of the project-and today of the life of the house.
