Overlooking the rolling hills that surround the city of Treia, in the beautiful Marche region in central Italy, the former 300 years old house has three levels. The main building was half destroyed by a fire in 1995. A stupendous restoration was made by the swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jérôme de Meuron of <a href="http://www.wespidemeuron.ch/showPage.php?template=opere&id=74">Wespi Agency Meuron Architekten</a>.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wespidemeuron.ch/opere_images/opere_img_immagine_199019197.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="479" src="http://www.wespidemeuron.ch/opere_images/opere_img_immagine_199019197.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The exterior of the main building of the house has retained its original appearance, while the interior has been transformed into a stunning modern space decorated in neutral tones and flooded with light.
