The project is unequivocally based on the elements of the tradition of the place: the Roman-derived patio house, the ‘hortus conclusus’ of the farms of Puglia, the use of stone and plaster, the volume blocked with prevalence of full on voids. From a distribution point of view, the two attached family houses are characterized on the ground floor by a patio (impluvium) around which the living area develops. The large living room overlooks the porticoed garden with bathtub, resulting in an ‘internal-outside’ space to the house. The upper floor is the sleeping area, distributed by a corridor around the patio overlooking the atrium featuring a double volume. The partly terraced roof is the ‘solarium’, directly connected, with a degrading path, to the porticoed garden.
