Description

House|landscape is one of the towers of the medieval castle of the city of Matera,40 minutes from the sea and Bari international airport. From the windows of the three floors of the property it is possible to embrace the Gravina and the Sasso Caveoso in a single glance. To dwell in this dwelling is to dwell in the city, in nature, in the dream of Matera. A meditative and quiet place within walking distance of all the most important sites, the nightlife and the commercial axis of the urban center, it is accessed from a pedestrian and romantic street. From a small verdant courtyard, opening the door you are immediately immersed in a breathtaking landscape that mixes with the gold of "tuff," the sandstone from which the property is built. From this floor, with a wooden "bridge" that refers to the origin of its use, one goes, crossing the penumbra of the vertical connection, to the "lamione" below, a vaulted roof typical of this geographical area, which brings back the light and the landscape. From this more domestic part of the house, new points of view: interior and exterior mingle welcoming lights, shadows, colors. The "lamione" connected to the tower becomes in a labyrinthine space dedicated to conviviality, friendship and rest. The lower part of the tower, on the other hand, is an autonomous annex, a small kaleidoscopic and secret treasure chest where one can experience the relationship with the power of the earth and hypogean space without sacrificing comfort and convenience. The property is sold furnished.

Location: Sassi di Matera, Matera

Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world whose territory holds evidence of human settlements starting from the Paleolithic and uninterrupted to the present day. It represents an extraordinary page written by man through the millennia of this very long history. Matera is the city of the “Sassi” (stones), the original urban core, developed from natural caves carved into the rock and later shaped into increasingly complex structures within two large natural amphitheaters that are the Sasso Caveoso and the Sasso Barisano. In 1993 UNESCO declared the Sassi di Matera a World Heritage Site. The Sassi di Matera are the 6th site in Italy in chronological order and the first in the south. On the occasion of this inscription, for the first time UNESCO uses in its criteria and motivations the concept of Cultural Landscape, which will later be used to motivate the inscription of other sites around the world. In 2019 Matera is European Capital of Culture. Matera is at the center of an incredible rocky landscape that preserves a great heritage of culture and traditions, and is home to exhibition events of great national and international prestige. A city with a fascinating and complex history: a city of borders, of contrasts, of competition and fusion between different landscapes, civilizations, cultures. Today, again under the banner of European urban planning culture, aspects of the challenge of redevelopment, sustainable recovery, and regaining lost identity are the activities that have brought back to the forefront this unique city that has rightly become a world heritage site of humanity. A city that offers its visitors the fascinating feeling of discovering great emotions.
