Riga House, Comano

The roof of Casa Riga is the lawn in which it is set, thanks to the Drytech White Tank waterproofing, consisting of Drytech waterproof concrete bed, walls and slab.

Riga House is a truly special farmhouse overlooking Comano Terme.

The idea was to create a house for a family of farmers and an 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.
