About Ritorno Alle Origini
Rediscovering Puglia: A Timeless Retreat
Puglia beckons—impossible to forsake indefinitely. Guided by hues and moodboards, the designer tapped into Puglia’s elemental core. Materials like natural tempera, wood, and stone converge, mirroring the union of land, sky, and sea. Indeed, every nook embodies respect for this locale.
Blending Past and Present
Bridging cherished memories with a chic, contemporary flair, this residence uniquely balances past and present. Spanning two levels, the first covers 52 m2 (560 ft²) and boasts a spacious dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Meanwhile, the attic houses a cozy 23 m2 (247 ft²) studio flat. Ideal for couples, it’s also primed for hosting friends.
A door, echoing the charm of ancient storefronts, stands restored yet retains its age’s marks. Through thoughtful furnishing, the space radiates harmony and vitality. The renovation birthed a second living enclave, crowned by a pristine terrace adorned with stone and prickly pears.
The Designer’s Vision
Umberto Colasanto’s vision? Evoking the nostalgia of coming home. Clients, even those residing afar, feel a magnetic pull to their roots—finding familiar scenes, yet renewed.
Unparalleled Design Essence
What sets “RITORNO ALLE ORIGINI” apart? First, its reverence for place. It marries past’s tactile memories—beams, cement tiles, stairs, doors—with a modern palette. Thus, it crafts a refreshing, stylish ambiance that defies time.
