Family House Carovigno Italy

Family House and renovation project Carovigno Italy

a) Renovation of the original Trullo Saraceno construction.

The original stone structure, built in the late 1800s, will be sandblasted, grouted with a smooth white finish, and left exposed; the flooring will be polished concrete.

Inside, the alcove to the left of the trullo entrance will house a bedroom, while the central area will be renovated, restoring the original fireplace and creating a kitchenette.

The alcove to the right of the entrance will house a bathroom area with a bathtub or shower, a vintage-style sink, and a toilet.

The trullo, independent of the additional structure, will be equipped with air conditioning and a burglar alarm system, as well as, of course, an electrical and water/sewer system.

b) Construction of an adjacent villa of approximately 100 square meters.

The structure will rest on reinforced concrete foundations with connected beams. A crawl space will be created with a 25 cm Igloo to allow for adequate ventilation, and a drainage pipe will be installed to help in the event of water accumulation in the crawl space.

All water and electrical lines will then be laid, and the concrete screed will be laid.

The load-bearing walls will be constructed as follows: 20 cm tuff, 6 cm thick high-performance polystyrene thermal insulation panel, 10 cm sand and cement layer, and aged stone in a "dry stone wall" style. Overall, the surrounding walls will have a thickness ranging from approximately 70 cm at the base to approximately 50 cm towards the attic.

The entrance to the villa will be surmounted by an antique stone arch with a stone curb staircase providing access to the roof from both sides. The attic will feature lowered vaults with a dome effect, and the flooring in these areas will be polished concrete.

Internally, all walls will be made of exposed tuff, grouted with a smooth white finish and treated with water repellent.

The three bedrooms will feature stone bedside tables, built-in wardrobes, and antique stone wall lights.

Each bathroom will feature vintage-style sinks and fixtures; the same will apply to the sink, countertop, and kitchen hob.

In the living room, an antique-style stone fireplace will be built with exposed wooden beams and individual lighting.

Five sliding doors will be supplied and installed to access the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The exterior window frames will be made of PVC, with two glass doors providing access to the structure; six windows will also be supplied and installed in each room.

In the area between the pool and the villa, a raised, furnished area will be created that will connect to the villa's ground level; this area will be equipped with water and electricity services. Furthermore, a poolside sunbathing area will be provided, complete with a shower and a lit living area, complete with a wooden gazebo.

Outdoor Area : The entire entrance driveway and parking area will be illuminated and finished with 0.40 mm rice gravel. To access the living area, you will pass through an archway made of local stone, again in the "dry stone" style.

Access to the trullo, slightly lower than the villa's floor level, will be secured with steps that will thin out towards the slope.
