Umbrian Farmhouse in House & Garden | Sept 2023

Umbrian Farmhouse has been featured in the September 2023 issue of House & Garden.

With views for miles across the Umbrian hills, this once-dilapidated farmhouse was totally re-configured and lovingly restored to create a 7-bedroom retreat with different spaces for summer and winter. Dating back to the 16th century, our engagement with the interior of the building is a mere moment in its rich history.

We worked with local building contractors Fervidus White to painstakingly restore and enhance original features; incorporating salvaged materials and a curation of vintage pieces. In particular, using vintage textiles and antique embroidery as the artistic language, bringing colour and warmth.
