Orma Architettura has created a low-carbon, three-apartment contemporary building on the site of a ruin in the village of Christinacce in Corsica. The building is primarily made of timber with wide windows framing views of the mountains. To reduce the carbon footprint the building is constructed using techniques that would allow the use of higher humidity local Laricio Pine to avoid transporting timber from outside of the island.
