The project reinterprets Yucatecan courtyard traditions through patios, arches, and planted voids that fold daily life into sequences of filtered light and shifting shade. Across its concrete base and lighter upper volumes, the house leans on local materials and open-air circulation to shape a calm, climate-responsive way of living.

Throughout the apartment, finishes and furnishings lean toward a contemporary chalet mood that suits the winter resort setting.

Masseria San Lorenzo anchors a 19th-century farmstead on the outskirts of Ostuni, Italy, brought back to life by studio Flore & Venezia.

Every move is calibrated, from the revived facades to the reorganized interiors, so daily life flows easily between the house and the surrounding land.
A gutter system’s primary function is to collect rainwater from the property’s roof and channel it safely away from the house. When functioning correctly, gutters protect siding, windows and doors and even landscaping from water damage. They also serve to safeguard your home’s foundation, as proper water diversion is the first line of defense against factors such as soil erosion and hydrostatic pressure. Without an efficient gutter system, your home becomes vulnerable to serious structural issues and costly repairs.

Inside, crafted finishes and tailored rooms give a contemporary yet quietly nostalgic reading of a family home.
