Single-family detached house via Italia 14, Castiglione, Andrano

There is an authentic beauty that can be discreet, almost hidden, a mystery that dances elegantly under the surface and can only be perceived through the exercise of patient and almost tactile observation. It so happens that a façade, tall and with simple features, a stone's throw from Piazza della Libertà, in Castiglione d'Otranto, is literally flooded with daylight, without ever betraying the elegance of its measured demeanor.

Part from a bright and well-proportioned entrance our domestic journey and what is perceived, at first impact, is the incredible chromatic affinity that attaches the environments that revolve around the central nucleus. If on the one hand, the two rooms, located respectively to the right and left of the entrance hall, have the merit of giving the environment a sense of welcome and enveloping warmth, on the other, the central passage, projected onto the external space behind, brings with it a depth of field, which benefits the general pleasantness of the home.

The light in the living space expands with an instinctive naturalness, with real solar jets that caress the ethereal curves of the vaults, while the more intimate than the house, so well distributed on the western side, it collects the colorful suggestions of the courtyard behind, while at the same time allowing us to imagine a multiplicity of alternative solutions in the intended use of the rooms. Intriguing, in the current layout, is the location of the living area in the immediate vicinity of the open-air courtyard, beyond the passage that faces the entrance hall, in a gentle interval that places the bedrooms at the two edges, while a bathroom with window, in a central position, serves the floor perfectly, revealing the possibility of expanding the spaces in the name of comfort.

A garden, with an ancient soul, loudly asks to be released into the courtyard, because in the generous space which opens under the blue sky, close to being defined in its privacy by a dividing wall, it is possible to imagine an outpost of relaxation and peace, where one can gather the profound links between nature and inner well-being. A stone staircase, with a gentle western inclination, will allow you to reach the solar area of exclusive property and to enjoy the generous beauty of the landscape, which has the consistency of shapes and colors tempered by time, in an atmosphere of sublime immersion of the senses, where you will feel like you are resting your head on the proud chest of a great history.
