House in Montalcino by Pignattai, Vossaert and Groppi
Marco Pignattai Architect, Gerda Vossaert Interior Architect, Davide Groppi,
Today we discuss the work of architects Pignattai and Vossaert and light designer Davide Groppi who restored a splendid home in Montalcino surrounded by the natural beauty of Tuscany. When the owners purchased the lot, there were a number of abandoned old buildings on it, including a mill with a water wheel and a church.
The architects aimed to maintain the original structure and appearance of the home while adding all the comforts essential in a summer home today. The two-floor home contains a kitchen, living room and bedrooms, while the basement contains a swimming pool, a gym and a wine cellar. The old church on the property has been renovated and converted into a guesthouse.
The lighting is designed to invite and welcome people to various spaces in the home, embracing the house as a whole and maintaining the building’s original nature and heritage .
