This simple farm house and attached barn, Casetta Santa Maria,  has an open view of the rolling hills of Southern Tuscany. The two-story house is flanked by a spacious barn on one side, and a small ruin on the other. While adhering to the strict planning laws of Tuscany, the barn is converted into ateliers, the ruin into a bathroom. (2022-2023)

The abandoned land and 100 olive trees are in the process of being revitalised.

The roof of the barn needed to be entirely rebuilt, the foundation of the house reinforced, the rainwater system entirely redone. Traditional tuscan roof and fascia with reclaimed, antique roof tiles are used to connect to the surroundings. Local and traditional building materials, such as tuff stone, travertine floor tiles, wood and terracotta are used.
