Belgian architect Tom Thys has given new life to the Aristo House, a holiday home situated on a slope of the Trigno Valley with a fantastic view over the hills, woods and fields of Abruzzo, Italy.
This historical building dates back to 1914. Inspired by classical design language, the Aristo House has been reduced to the essentials and the result is effective, from the original brickwork and the clear, linear structures of the rooms to the soft, natural colours and the simple yet high-quality furnishings.
The Inspirations for the house were found in the work of both Andrea Palladio, an architect of the Italian Renaissance and Dom Hans van der Laan, benedictine monk and Dutch architect.
The interior is divided into a large living room on the ground floor and two symmetrically arranged bedrooms on the first floor. Both with large double beds and a wide view over the valley. Complemented by a bathroom with a circular mirror and a small writing corner integrated into the hallway. In addition, a unique mezzanine level under the roof offers visitors even more space to relax and sleep.
The Aristo House is in fact a purist and tranquil place, from nature to architecture.
