Palazzo Edmondo, Monteroni di Lecce
Photographed in Puglia for Moroseta Homes.
A 16th-century palazzo brought back to life after decades of abandonment, Palazzo Edmondo is a study in preserving the character of a historic building while giving it a new contemporary purpose. The restoration, led by Studio Luca Baldazzi, carefully retains the original architecture, from the star-vaulted ceilings and historic floors to the carved wooden doors — while introducing a restrained palette of natural materials and contemporary elements.
At the heart of the house, the old architecture remains the defining presence. Outside, a secluded garden unfolds around ancient colonnades, citrus trees and a long pool, creating a quiet connection between the palazzo and the Mediterranean landscape of Salento.
Masseria Moroseta, Ostuni.
Photographed in June 2026 for Moroseta Homes.
Set among five hectares of ancient olive groves overlooking the landscape of Puglia, Masseria Moroseta is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Apulian masseria. Designed by Studio Andrew Trotter, the project draws from the proportions, materials and simple spatial logic of the region’s rural architecture, reinterpreting them through a distinctly contemporary lens.
Built around a central courtyard, the white stone structure combines vaulted ceilings, local limestone and sheltered outdoor spaces with expansive views towards the olive groves and the Adriatic Sea. The architecture is deliberately restrained, allowing the surrounding landscape, natural light and changing atmosphere of the countryside to become an essential part of the experience.
The result is a place that feels deeply connected to its setting — contemporary in expression, yet rooted in the architectural traditions of Puglia.
