LOW BUILDING

The area on which the low building stands is in the grounds of a building dating back to the early 20th century, headquarters of the Cuneo CAI. The low building, one floor above ground, is used as a garage and storage area for the Alpine and Speleological Rescue Service. It has a reinforced concrete base on which the wooden structure is anchored, covered externally with wooden slats and internally with simple plywood panels. The single-pitch roof is made of sheet metal with the eaves hidden inside the structure. The window and doorframes have mirrored glass and are made with a metal structure and are finished externally with wooden slats of the same essence and colour as the rest of the façade, concealing both the uprights and the crossbeams for greater continuity of the elevation.
