Domus Civita by Studio F is located in Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy. The challenge with the remodeling of the project was designing a space suitable for today’s living while still honoring the 2600 year old structure. The renovation project became an exercise in creating a suitable connection that would embrace all these different spaces and make 2600 years of architectural history feel organic and livable. While the main house structure got fully renovated by preserving and restoring all the old features and materials, we decided to infuse it with modern elements and romantic touches that felt complimentary to the house but not plagiaristic. The caves and grottos got cleaned and restored and converted into a meditation room, art galleries, a wine cellar, a pool with hot tub and a garden kitchen.
