Architecture Environmental manorisms

Vaulted ceilings and volcanic stone catch the eye, while glass walls and huge windows frame the Sicilian countryside.

When confronted with this magnificent 1930s manor house, architect Antonio Iraci took his cues from the Sicilian countryside. Determined to create a dwelling that showcased its environment, he introduced wide rebuilt windows to each room as well big glass walls. But Iraci also looked inward, using restored original elements from the building, such as oak floor boards and volcanic stone cladding.

Interior design Through the looking glass

Oak floorboards, distinct lines, and simple contemporary furnishings characterize the interiors...

with the countryside always playing a clear contrasting role. The key is transparency. Each room brings the outside in with wide windows or large glass doors crafted from chunky citrus trees. Rooms put nature at the forefront, with volcanic stone cladding, oak floorboards, vaulted ceilings, and chestnut windows through which the sea dazzles and shines.
