Gaze on the Infinite

Inspirations

In the land of Leopardi, an ethic more than an esthetic choice.

An old farmhouse in the hills, not far from Recanati and just 7 kilometres away from the sea. Here, the gaze can wander on the infinite beauty, going from Conero to Loreto, and “The Infinite” by Leopardi is not just literature but reality. Even if the old farmhouse was demolished, the new construction preserved its rural soul; handmade bricks found on site or sought out in the surrounding area were reused. Doors and windows also come from reuse. Materials, glues, varnishes, technologies: everything is strictly biocompatible.
 

Ideas of living

Not an obvious choice. This old teak by Fiemme Tremila impressed the buyers because of the feeling it conveyed. A Burmese teak extracted from the core of beams from villages and ancient temples, hand-worked in different widths and lengths. A mosaic of various shades for a fascinating play of colours. It was a crucial choice not only for floors and skirting boards but also for the stairs and the elevator panelling, gifting every element with refinement and preciousness.
 

The same wood in every room, bathrooms and kitchen included, but also in connection spaces, such as the stairs and the elevator, exudes a sense of harmony and warm embrace. Moreover, this teak, thanks to its unique manufacture, is perfect to “tell a story”: the story of a new house that speaks an ancient language—the classic and eternal language of firm ideas over time.
