From the architect: Built using traditional techniques and local materials, the structure is immersed in thirteen hectares of olive groves with trees over 500 years old, the Masseria Pensato is an oasis of relax and rural simplicity.

A new green layout that uses typical plants of the Mediterranean vegetation and secular arboreous  elements acts as a filter with the rural landscape of the productive olive grove. From the new external arrangement you access to the two suites.White spaces with vault and earth-colored floors maintain a strong bond with the surrounding landscape.

The suites with private courtyard are both equipped with a large living area with kitchen, two bedrooms for the largest and one for the smallest. A minimal décor is match with the enveloping shapes of the vaults and dtraditional taste etails, the bathrooms want to offer an experience of complete relax with the ample sink space in contiguity with the bedrooms and the large shower with nebulizer jets.

From the living room of the largest suite you can access to the private garden, a large space with an outdoor dining area under the shade of a green pergola, a solarium area and a private 20sqm swimming pool with hydromassage.

The smaller suite has a private garden with a 6sqm pool with hydromassage and a pergola for relaxing in the shadow.

The project wanted to enrich the existing building giving it a uniqueness and a new character by using simple shapes and materials but creating a complexity of external spaces and distribution of interior and service spaces.

The end result is a new building in the form and function that fits and integrates with the horizontal landscape of the plain of olive trees that surrounds it.
