An ancient farmhouse in Tuscany has been restored, emphasising and preserving its architectural and historical features.
Architects Monica Rossi and Claudio Cencetti of the Archidomus studio emphasise that “every project is a restoration; it has a different history and aesthetic, inspired by the location, the customers, the structure, and the unique features of the building”.
During the design phase, the wooden and terracotta floors were highlighted, and the stone walls were enhanced. The rhythms created by the solid and void elements of the external openings have gained significant visual importance. The materials used in the restoration of the architectural structure are all reclaimed, like the wooden oak and terracotta flooring.
Regarding the furniture and accessories, they selected only non-traditional or family pieces, especially those marked by modern design. The sofas, by Baxter and Cappellini, harmoniously blend with the lamps by Artemide and FontanaArte, or with some vases designed by the renowned Ligurian designer Gaetano Pesce.
In terms of artworks, Italian paintings from the 16th century are juxtaposed with others, chosen among canvas paintings and photographs by contemporary artists, both Italian and foreign.
The bedrooms and the floors below are marked by the same mood, which pervades the rooms on the three different levels of the farmhouse. The light and the strength of the surrounding landscape seep in through the windows, enveloping the ancient villa, now boasting a new residential function.
