The project simply proposes the construction of a new “inhabited border”<\/strong><\/em>, which allows the characteristic urban tissue of Brunico, formed by the noble villas and sealed off gardens, have continuity.
\nReferring to the medieval\u00a0hortus conclusus<\/b><\/i>, in order to highlight the urban presence of Casa Ragen,\u00a0the architects understand the extension as a sober building that complements what already exists.<\/p>\n

The extension consists of two floors: one is half-buried, and the other shapes the garden. The latter becomes the central space of the project, closely relating the existent building and the extension. It is a wide and peaceful space, which creates through its comfortable atmosphere a space for studying, and an ideal place for concerts, shows or events.<\/p>\n

On the exterior, the new school is characterized by a continuous sober wall in which the new front door access is inserted, a delicate connection between the existent that will allow glimpse the interior garden.
\nThe rehabilitation of Casa Ragen is characterized by the new configuration of its interior patio. A new roof characterizes and transforms this space through a system of glass and adjustable slats that act as a light spreader.<\/p>\n
