The goal of the project has been to continue to be the memory of a close relationship with the Apulian territory and its history, reinterpreted in a contemporary and minimal way.

In the house, in fact, there are pavillion vaults, decorated with paintings depicting acanthus leaves and classical figures, votive offerings and even a chapel. The floors were made of tiles, decorated with different patterns. The placement of family furnishings also add warmth to the environment and trace the threads of a new history.

The entire project has followed the rules of an approach to environmental and social sustainability: from the use of natural materials and products made by local artisans, to the recovery of the old fixtures, enhanced with double glazing, barrier to sunlight, weather and water. In addition, they have been applied solar collectors on the roof, able to produce hot water, and in bathrooms, have been placed flow reducers.
