Description

Nestled among vineyards and surrounded by the characteristic landscape of the Mediterranean interior, this project stems from a desire to restore a traditional building historically linked to the estate’s agricultural and winemaking activities.

The proposal preserves the essential elements that define its identity—masonry walls, sloped roofs, courtyards, and porticoed porches—allowing the architecture to continue telling the story of the place.

The project establishes a continuous connection between the interior, the landscape, and winemaking activities.

The porches, galleries, and open spaces extend the experience outdoors, allowing the vineyards, the light, and the mountains to become part of the architecture.

More than just a renovation, the project aims to consolidate the existing heritage and breathe new life into it, demonstrating that sustainability also involves preserving, reinterpreting, and projecting into the future what already belongs to the place.
