The Recovery of Chalets: Critical Ideas for the Transformation

With regard to the transformation of the chalets, in full compliance with the regulations envisaged for the work to be carried out in park areas, the re-functionalization of the chalets would have to maintain the characteristics of the local architecture and the use of typical local materials, providing for a recovery based on traditional techniques so as not to impact the surrounding environment. Particular attention will be paid to the external arrangement of the areas and specifically to the restoration and new construction of the paths inside the village, as well as to the arrangement of the access mule tracks. As far as energy saving is concerned, all necessary measures must be taken to content consumption, also using new technologies and systems to control heat loss. The project could include the use of renewable energy sources. The social value of the intervention is linked, in addition to the global recovery action of the nucleus with conservative criteria, to the fact that the sale of the real estate units is not envisaged, but rather a unitary management that maintains the original character of the village. As mentioned, one of the recovered chalets (or part of it) could host a point of sale of typical products, and the remaining part of the start-up nucleus would be destined to accommodate premises for widespread hospitality and a refreshment point for the non-exclusive use of the users of the structure.
