COMUNICATO STAMPA E IMMAGINI Buen Retiro in Roccasparvera (Cuneo), 2023Dario Castellino’s shelter house is a perfect blend of architecture, nature, and sustainabilityNestled in the woods and overlooking the picturesque Stura Valley in Roccasparvera, in the province of Cuneo, stands Buen Retiro, a shelter house expertly crafted by the Cuneo architect Dario Castellino in complete harmony with the surrounding nature. Emerging from an ancient crumbling stone ruin, engulfed by wild vegetation and brambles, Castellino has brought to life a modern, organic extension in burnt larch wood and glass, creating a seamless spatial continuum between nature and architecture, where the forest, materials used, signs, and architectural rhythm are in perfect harmony. Buen Retiro is also a tangible commitment to zero-emission living and the promotion of local resources: wood from short supply chains, innovative insulators like CalceLegnoCanapa®, and energy self-sufficiency. Revitalizing an ancient farmer’s refuge, Buen Retiro is a declaration of love for rural life and a reflection of Castellino’s ongoing dedication to enhancing small alpine villages.The Buen Retiro is among the five finalists in the Private Architecture category of the Wood Architecture Prize 2024, sponsored by Klimahouse.
