House Description
The Casa degli Scuri Rossi, located in Valle di Ledro, Tiarno di Sopra, takes its name from the red shutters on the windows that have characterized it for several decades and that in the area are called “scuri”. It is said that the previous owner wanted to testify, with the color red, a different identity than the rest of the small local community. The historic building dates back to the end of the 18th century and is built in local stone with the characteristic style of the place.
The house has been recently renovated trying as much as possible to use natural and ecological materials. In addition to this, we wanted to insert in an important way elements of energy efficiency such as heat pumps, LED lights and solar photovoltaic panels in storage. In this way, much of the primary energy necessary for the operation of the house will be self-produced from renewable sources. Further attention has been paid to the furniture that sees for many of its elements the recovery of what already exists or the inclusion of recovered furniture. This is in view of a profile of circular economy that sees reuse as its fulcrum.
The structure can accommodate up to 18 people. On the ground floor there is an apartment with kitchen and bathroom, perfectly usable by people with mobility difficulties, while on the second floor there are five bedrooms each with bathroom in addition to the kitchenette and meeting area.
The house aims to be a point of welcome for members but at the same time a place for exchange and discussion on environmental issues, cultural and outdoor sports activities.
Each room has been characterized by its own number or theme with which it is intended to suggest a path to the guest who in time will want to stay in the structure, a path made of cultural and visual stimuli in particular in the artistic field.
