TRULLO DD
The project is a private holiday house with pool derived from the refurbishment and enlargement of an abandoned small “trullo” located on piece of land with olive and oaks trees. “Trulli” are cone-roofed stone building typical of Valle d’Itria, a rural area in the south-east of Italy.
The existing building had one “cono” (cone-roof), which was completely restored and enlarged creating new spaces and rooms following the owner’s requirements.
The project had particular care in using materials and building systems typical of the area. The builder brought his experience of “maestro trullaro”, a builder specialized in these typical houses. The handmade stone bricks walls are very thick in order to protect from heat and the vaulted roof has rainwater recovery. Following these traditional principles you can assure internal comfort and good temperature also in summertime.
The residence in its final layout has entrance, living room and dining room in a new stone "lamia", the kitchen is in the restored old trullo, two bedrooms with two bathrooms are in three new cones. The entrance courtyard has natural surfacing rocks floor, while on the south side of the living-room there is a stone-paved area to dine outside where you can have a nice view on the surrounding olive trees country.
