In a magic, fascinating setting, surrounded by greenery, protected on one side by the rounded mountain ridges, on the other by the gentle waters of Lake Iseo, stands a splendid mansion on which work was recently carried out to reconstruct the roof.
The house reflects typical mountain architecture, with a vertical masonry structure in exposed stone, while the horizontal divisions, floors and roof supports, are made of beech.
Stone was used mostly for the masonry, the arches, vaults and covering mantle, while wood was used for the horizontal structures and the roof: beech in fact has a very high resistance to bending stress; particularly slender elements were obtained from straight timber and used in the beams of the main frame.
The villa has a pitched roof, not too inclined, to avoid the slipping of the snow covering, which could carry away the roof tiles. The tiles, made of cement, were simply laid on. The work continued for about 2 weeks and was particularly desired by the client, to obtain a reduction of heat loss from the inside and consequently reduce energy consumption. For the roof about 400 m2 of panelling was used, specifically Isoventilato 80 mm Polyiso foam panels, particularly indicated for flat and pitched roofs and for ventilated and microventilated roofs, which may be made with all roofing elements: tiles on battens, shingles, bent tiles, sheeting, etc.
