Bricks from Scratch

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

After a neverending year of sketches, design, writings, phone calls, meetings, documents and contracts, next week studiometrico is going to go on site with its very first ‘built from scratch’ project. A 140 sqm private house will be located on a hilly terrain nearby Piacenza (70 km south of Milan) and inserted within a group of existing buildings and rural facilities.
