Castle plan or house plan?

I know I know. You will tell me: it is a scandal! Either we restore an old ruined castle, we leave it in ruins, or we make a nice modern house elsewhere.

Interior streetart

Street art is a new urban expression that makes watching his city in a different way. We can see animals hiding under piles of leaves, or see what’s under a simple sidewalk. But little has been exploited the ruins of houses. And yet, with fresh eyes, it can turn a degraded environment in an aesthetic object, like prehistoric people who used each protrusion of the cave to draw and paint animals.
