Casa Soleto by Studio Andrew Trotter and Marcelo Martínez
In the Salento area of Puglia, stands a 17th century palazzotto, lovingly restored by Studio Andrew Trotter and Marcelo Martínez to give guests an authentic experience of Italian village life centered around the experience of barefoot luxury. For twenty years, the labyrinth property remained unoccupied – furniture, books and photos from previous residents left untouched inside as if time stood still. Architect and interior designer Andrew Trotter has majestically brought Casa Soleto into the twenty-first century while preserving its historic features. We spoke to him about the importance of craftsmanship and how earthy, natural materials can create a feeling of ease. Photography by Salva Lopez
