​A CELEBRATION OF SIMPLICITY

​

Borgo Gallana consists of three traditional stone houses, which Giuseppe describes as “the embodiment of my memories, my happy place, my mother’s beloved Puglia, and my grandmother’s humble Puglia.” To achieve this authenticity, he collaborated with Studio Andrew Trotter for the design. “Andrew brought Puglia’s simplicity to life by working with local materials, artisans, and traditional building techniques,” Giuseppe explains.

A GARDEN DEDICATED TO THE MEDITERRANEAN ECOSYSTEM

​

The houses—Casa Camino, Casa Luce, and Casa Limone—each feature a private garden, an outdoor lounge with a stone bathroom and a second kitchen with a barbecue. The central courtyard hosts a swimming pool surrounded by olive trees and aromatic plants.
 

Artists Cosimo Terlizzi and Damien Modolo, founders of Lamia Santolina, envisioned Borgo Gallana’s garden as a tribute to the Mediterranean ecosystem. Alongside ancient olive trees, they planted native and endemic species to revive and enrich the region’s botanical heritage.

​

DESIGN ROOTED IN LOCALITY

​

Studio Andrew Trotter employed vaulted ceilings and concrete floors throughout the three homes. The primary construction material is local sandstone, known as tufo. The bathroom sinks and kitchen counters were also custom-designed by Trotter and crafted locally.

 

The interiors are furnished with timeless brands like Frama, Lumina, Bongio, Tine K, and Gervasoni, alongside locally crafted tableware by Nicola Fasano. Outdoor spaces feature black metal wall lights designed by Studio Andrew Trotter.
