The Masseria Mangiamuso of Ostuni (BR) is a 17th century fortification. After about 50 years of total abandonment, the farm was purchased by a couple of friends who, after a holiday in Puglia, decided to acquire the structure and entrust it to the design of the Flore & Venezia studio. In the farm is enhanced the philosophy of the studio, consisting of a few essential materials: stone, lime, iron and wood. In the external space there is a swimming pool with dark gray plastered interiors that bring back the character and colors of the surrounding area. The entire structure is self-sufficient in terms of energy and consumption thanks to the water collection and photovoltaic system. The intervention wanted to read the past to hand it down to the future.
