Casa Gisella is our current project. Situated in a hill top village, Casa Gisella is a typical house of the area. Our clients bought the house two years ago and had designs drawn up of what they wanted - all within the traditional style of Lunigiana and Tuscany.
Project time scales - June 2006 to December 2006
Type of work - restoration of a villiage house to include the conversion of an attached chestnut barn and cellar and the construction of a new terrace.
"Working with Beppe and Antonella on our house has been a real pleasure. Their intimate knowledge of traditional construction and deep love for their work has smoothed the journey. We have made some real friends in them and they have helped us out beyond what we would have expected. They have brought the work in on budget and on time and to the highest of standards." - Ronnie and Alison Johnston, Ireland
