Borgo Gallana
Studio Andrew Trotter
Puglia, Italy
Borgo Gallana is a collection of three white stone traditional houses located amongst olive trees in the countryside of Oria, Puglia
With already two existing structures in the land, Studio Andrew Trotter designed a courtyard between them, and two staircases on both sides. Also, the existing properties were extended in order to obtain three self-contained houses composed by king-sized beds, bathrooms with showers, kitchens, large and original living rooms and private terraces. On the other side of the land, a 40 square meters pool was created.
Architecturally, vaulted ceilings and cement floors were used through the whole property. Local sandstone “tufo” is the main material used for the construction of the structures. The bespoke and locally made bathroom sinks and kitchen tops were designed by the Studio, as well as the outdoor metal wall lamp in black powder coated finish. The interiors have been furnished and styled with vintage tables, chairs, ceramics and lamps.
