Italian architecture company Studio Andrew Trotter designs the new Casa Maiora which is located in Puglia, Italy. It has an earthy tonal palette and is made from sandstone that is locally sourced. It sits on top of an elevated site and the house is inspired by the colors and shapes of villas along the Puglia coast.
“We looked to the villas of the coast, with their grand colonnades, and the walls that were painted with an earthy tone using lime wash made by a local artisan,” Trotter explains to Dezeen. He continues on the foundation of the design, noting that “As the house was on the highest part of the land, we built retaining walls, to create a courtyard for the entry, parking hidden behind the wall, and a terraced garden around a pool.”
