The project "Famiglia Fattoria: Tili Wine - Italy - Guest Homes" is located in the Valle Umbra, an area known for its farming heritage and beautiful landscapes. The design aims to combine modern elements with the existing historical structures. It preserves a significant farm building while creating new guest accommodations that are in line with the regional character.

Heritage and Adaptation

The approach focuses on reusing the existing farm building, which plays a key role in the design. By keeping this structure, the project honors its historical value and reduces the impact on the environment through lower carbon emissions. The building is transformed into a space that serves a modern function while still reflecting its past.

Central Courtyard

A central courtyard is designed as a gathering space for guests. It encourages social interaction and also offers quieter areas for relaxation. This layout promotes a connection between indoor spaces and the outside, enhancing the experience of those who visit the site.

Guest Accommodations

Five new guest homes are incorporated into the design, each carefully placed to provide privacy while taking advantage of views of the landscape. These homes reflect traditional Umbrian styles and align with the scale of the existing farm structure. The guest accommodations feature both single-level and mezzanine layouts, allowing accessibility for all visitors.

Material Choices

The project uses insulated masonry and exposed arched precast roof panels as main materials. These choices are practical and in keeping with regional building methods. They contribute to the overall comfort of the buildings by improving insulation.

Each guest home has its own courtyard that faces south, encouraging outdoor living and providing a retreat for visitors. The design ensures that these private spaces connect well with the natural surroundings. This approach allows guests to appreciate the beauty of the Valle Umbra while also enjoying their own private areas for relaxation.
