Casa Surie │ Piemonte │ Italia

Set in the suspended “hanging valley” of the upper Belbo River basin in Piedmont, Italy, this farmhouse and adjoining hay-barn, are perfect examples of the historic Alta Langa rural farm architecture. Completely restored combining traditional building traditions with contemporary systems, this farmstead has become a holistic family home and vacation spot for those who seek some time in unspoiled nature. Sustainability strategies mirror (once upon a time) passive building traditions while allowing for new natural insulation systems bringing these structures to minimal fuel consumption and healthy indoor air quality. Ongoing extensive “natural” landscaping, fruit & vegetable gardens and rewilding parts of the intensive farming fields brings this property into the future while linking it to history.
