The Casa Albanese on the Island of Pantelleria, Italy was created by ASA Studio by incorporating pre-existing ancient ruins, the natural landscape and contemporary design. Walls of crumbling stone create an old shabby chic ambiance to this unique structure. Open air spaces and canopies allow for natural light and ventilation. Dome ceilings stay true to the home’s Mediterranean roots, and multiple levels cater to the uneven terrain that the house rests upon. Unique features like a luxurious cement bathtub, massive revolving glass panel door and serene pool make the Casa Albanese more than desirable. In total, this rustic retreat is precisely the kind of relaxing destination we desire. [via homedsgn] View in gallery View in gallery View in gallery
