Various factors lead to a return to live within rural areas, which have been long abandoned and now are attractive again. This process affects not only the territory, due to commuting and dormitory transformation of neighborhoods, but also on the recovery of existing buildings. The project aims at defining a strategy of recover of historical buildings through delicate and reversible interventions. Rebuilding these buildings without erasing their qualities can generate a new density to make them more sustainable. The proposal intends to suggest a new rural density by dividing an existing farmstead into five apartments, with independent access and the farmyard in common. The disposition of the units permits an easy merger to accommodate different necessities with the minimum transformation. The re-use of the dwelling takes place through the reactivation of the pre-modern arrangement of rooms without corridors.
