The garden was cleared of 150 trees, blackberry bushes and ivy and, to contrast the space with the stone cliffs, the caves and the modern interventions, became a formal Italian garden in the best tradition of the area.
The caves and grottos got cleaned and restored and converted into a meditation room, art galleries, a wine cellar, a pool with hot tub and a garden kitchen. While the main house structure got fully renovated by preserving and restoring all the old features and materials, we decided to infuse it with modern elements and romantic touches that felt complimentary to the house but not plagiaristic. The renovation project became an exercise in creating a suitable connection that would embrace all these different spaces and make 2600 years of architectural history feel organic and livable.
