Masseria – Rennovation + Design
Puglia – Ostuni
Villa Salve
This Pulian home, with centuries of history embedded in its walls, has been thoughtfully transformed by STUDIOTOFF. The process of breathing new life into this remarkable dwelling involved a careful balance of preservation and innovation.
The original structure was preserved, allowing its rich history to remain at the core of the design. The space was expanded, breaking through walls to create a more open, light-filled floorplan suited to modern living. The vision extended outdoors, where a family-friendly pool was added, perfectly complementing the home’s character. Tradition was honored by crafting new doors that echo the style of the originals, maintaining the home’s historic charm.
At the front, the home exudes a sense of history, with every detail steeped in antiquity. As one moves to the back, a different scene unfolds—a rustic retreat reminiscent of a Masseria, where life slows down and the beauty of nature takes center stage. The kitchen, now the vibrant heart of the home, has become a place for gathering and sharing meals. Every detail was meticulously selected by STUDIOTOFF to blend the old with the new, creating a seamless harmony between history and modernity.
