Trullo Fantese

The project took into consideration a portion of a larger agricultural complex 'Masseria
Fantese' consists of several dry-stone constructions, partly with conical 'Trulli' roofs and partly with sloping 'Pignon' roofs. Originally, these buildings were used for storing agricultural products, some of them, the 'Pignons', were actual silos that could be filled completely through an opening at the top of the roof. For these reasons of a functional nature, the internal dimensions of these "Trulli" are larger than the typical ones, so it was possible to create "Open space" rooms inside them, characterising the most modern dwellings with the added charm of these characteristic historical buildings. The meticulous restoration of the building's shell and constituent parts, together with the attention to detail, make this example of trulli unique.
