We initially found the work of British designer Andrew Trotter in 2016, when we came across his recently finished Masseria Moreseta in Puglia (see A Modern Masseria in Puglia with Conventional Impacts), and discovered ourselves consumed (Alexa even paid a check out).
As Andrew states, “Simpleness is at the heart of my concepts along with a real belief that any style ought to come from the location where it is constructed.” His most current task, Casolare Scarani in Carovigno, Puglia, “has rather a sweet story,” he states. “Several years earlier, a pal in Barcelona had the concept to transfer to Puglia. She revealed me a couple of homes online to see what I thought of them. Possibly a year or two later on, we passed a home while driving towards Carovigno, and I recognized that it was among your homes she had actually revealed me. Your house was stunning, old, with a lot character, and not too huge. In the countryside you normally discover little lamias, which are stone sheds for the regional landowners to shop devices; or huge masserias, where the upscale landowners would have as soon as lived. It was rather uncommon to come throughout a structure that had the design of a masseria, however the size of a little rental property.
” At the time we were thinking of other jobs, and we chose not to acquire it for ourselves, so when our buddies and customers, the Coleman household, began to look for a home, we instantly revealed them this one. In fact, we revealed it to Ian, as Maree remained in Australia at the time. A month later on, Covid struck, however from the images, Ian convinced Maree, and they purchased it without her seeing it. It would be more than a year later on, when we had actually currently begun to remodel the home, that Maree saw your home for the very first time. Thankfully she fell for it, as we understood she would. 9 months later on, Casolare Scarani was completed.”
