“We must treat windows as stories, thinking that we can open them to all the stories we want” Colum McCann
This was our starting point to the refurbishment of this house.
The property, located on the top of a rocky hill, was completely functional when we arrived, but we realized that there was no thinking in the way the house was looking at the beautiful landscape that was surrounding the property. On one side the Mount Etna, on the other side the golf of Plemmirio and in the other direction the magnificent Lagoon of Syracuse and the Island of Ortygia. Windows were added in meaningful locations.
An infinite pool is added on the roof terrace, that was completely abandoned and underestimated. In the top of the house the views are unified into a panoramic scene of the further east of Sicily.
Another round pool is on the Olive and Orange Trees field surrounded by nature.
The solid pink stucco complements the succulent and mediterranean plant vegetation that surrounds the villa.
