Designing the house for a family of farmers and the farmhouse for their guests within a farm, without interrupting the precious continuity of an alpine landscape made up of orchards and sloping meadows.

An ambitious request, to which Studio Stefania Saracino and Franco Tagliabue Architetti gave a radical response, setting the Casa Riga directly in the mountain just outside Comano Terme, in Trentino.

The structures in contact with the ground, bed and walls in contact with the ground, were built with the Drytech Tank System.
