LCA Architetti designed the Italian house to evoke a barn LCA Architetti s design is deliberately pared-back, in a bid to retain focus on the home s rural surroundings while minimising its environmental impact. This is helped with the use of natural and recyclable construction materials, including a prefabricated timber structure, straw insulation and cladding made from cork – a renewable, resistant and insulating material that is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. ....
