Respecting the traditional Aeolian house while reinterpreting it in a modern and sustainable way: this was the guiding principle of the renovation project, with a focus on enhancing both the living and landscape experience.

In the main house, three large openings from the kitchen area to the living room, inspired by the freehand lines of Aeolian architecture, guide the view toward the sea and the beautiful islands of the archipelago. Rounded corners and free-flowing curves frame the built-in sofas, featuring obsidian-black seats and recycled plastic cushions with exquisite covers created by a local artist. The kitchen island, a large masonry monolith, is clad in earth-toned Kerakoll Design resin, matching the doors. Above the table hangs an installation made from recycled ocean plastic by artist Rosa Vetrano. Resin also covers the irregular arches in the bathroom area, separating the service spaces, shower, and sink. Freehand arches are a prominent feature in the sleeping area as well, creating cupboards with exposed wooden beams inside. The walls have been plastered using a trowel technique that follows the irregular flow of the stone masonry, resulting in a textured and dynamic effect.

The volcanic stone flooring from Nerosicilia and the white pumice walls pay homage to the local territory, which the designer fell in love with three years ago when he decided to create the Terra e Mare project.
