The project is part of the recovery of a ‘borgo’ a small group of old houses typical of the Tuscan countryside.

The restoration of the “borgo” was full of restrictions and regulations that needed to be respected.

Nevertheless, as requested by the client, our goal was to integrate a contemporary architecture and landscaping, respecting the historical and cultural background of the house and its location.

The outside is connected to camps of olive trees by a garden and a very essential pergola, traces of the typical pergola used in the Tuscan countryside.

The inside of the villa is made as an essential but warm and pleasant container that can hold and best present the artworks collected by the client.

Basic materials are used such as cement color raisin floor and white walls, leaving the structure of the house as clean and essential as possible.
The kitchen is a closed box, that contains the color on the inside, and so are the stairs connecting the two floors.
It is a rational, functional space, with focal points made by a touch of strong, vivid colors.
Upstairs the original open space has been divided by a long closet with opening on both sides, that separates the long corridor from the bed rooms and the bathrooms.
Each room is given it’s unique color.
The ceiling is colored in white leaving the beams and structure visible.
