House at Lake Maggiore - Refurbishment
- Jakob Schoof
Old stone houses are huddled closely together in Brissago Piodina, the last town on Swiss soil on the western shore of Lake Maggiore before crossing the border to Italy. Many of them still display visibly exposed masonry walls, while others conceal them behind a layer of render. In many cases, the age of the houses is uncertain. Others look back at a chequered history of conversion, addition and alteration.
