Andrew Trotter工作室的最新项目Casa Soleto位于普利亚中心一个安静村庄的17世纪宫殿内。Andrew Trotter和他的合作伙伴Marcelo Martinez精心修复了这座历史建筑，为客人提供了一种真实的“乡村生活”体验。
Studio Andrew Trotter’s most recent project Casa Soleto is housed within a 17th-century palazzo in a quiet village in the heart of Puglia. Andrew and his partner Marcelo Martinez lovingly restored the historic building to offer guests an authentic experience of “the village life”.
这座建筑建于18世纪，具有巴洛克时期宫殿的所有迷人特征：砖砌外墙，高高的拱形天花板，室外庭院和花园，以及自己的小教堂。然而，这座建筑的年代确实给Andrew Trotter和Marcelo Martinez带来了一些挑战。如有些地方的墙壁开始开裂和腐蚀，一些天花板需要更换，更不用说整个房子只有一个浴室。
Built in the 1700s, the building had all the charming characteristics of a baroque-period palazzo: brick cladding, high-vaulted ceilings, an outdoor courtyard and garden, and its own chapel. The building’s age, however, did present several challenges for Andrew and Marcelo. The walls in places were beginning to crack and erode, and some of the ceilings needed replacing, not to mention there was only one bathroom in the whole house.
但结果是值得的。从进入院子的那一刻起，时间仿佛真的静止了。首先，你进入主要的起居空间，它与厨房相连，在厨房后面，旧教堂曾经是媒体室，它有自己的化妆室和室外淋浴间。与主起居室相连的是一个宽敞的餐厅，餐厅的对面是花园房。
But the result was well worth it. From the moment you enter through the courtyard, time really does stand still.First, you step into the main living space, which connects to the kitchen and behind that, where the old chapel used to be, the media room, which has its own powder room and outdoor shower. Connected to the main living space is a majestic dining room with another powder room and, on the opposite side, the‘garden room’.
通过入口庭院的楼梯可以到达上层。楼梯顶端是 "绿色房间"，这里是三间宽敞卧室的起居室，最多可容纳九位客人。每间卧室和套间都提供了一些独特的东西，与原来只有一间浴室的房子相比有了很大的改进。在楼上，卧室通过“绿色房间”连接起来。所有的内门都被修复了，外门则由来自莱切的手工木工重新制作。
The upper floor is reached via a staircase in the entry courtyard. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find the ‘green room’, which acts as a landing for three spacious bedrooms, accommodating up to nine guests. Each bedroom and en suite – a significant improvement from the original one-bathroom house – offers something unique. On the upper floor, the bedrooms are connected via the ‘green room’. All of the internal doors were restored and the external doors were recreated by artisan woodworkers from Lecce.
至于设计本身，Andrew和Marcel希望保持建筑的历史魅力，同时将其带入现代，从而在修复和现代化之间取得微妙的平衡。在家具方面，这对夫妇从村里各地采购了古董，并搭配了几件定制的家具。大部分艺术品都是他们自己买的，除了他们的好朋友Eleanor Herbosh专门为房子画的三幅画。
As for the design itself, Andrew and Marcel wanted to maintain the building’s historic charm while bringing it into the present, which resulted in a delicate balance between restoration and modernisation. For furniture, the pair sourced antique pieces from around the village and paired them with several custom-made pieces. Most of the artwork they purchased themselves, except for three paintings that were done especially for the house by a good friend, Eleanor Herbosh.
