We are in the heart of the Amalfi Coast which, since 1997, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by 12,000 square meters of land, inside the tower you can breathe all the charm of the original residence, remained intact thanks to the careful and respectful renovation work that has been carried out. From an architectural point of view, the tower, combined with its arrangement on the rocky slopes, offers guests a truly extraordinary panoramic view, with windows that, like paintings, frame suggestive views and infuse bright and fresh atmospheres to the rooms.

The interiors have a double soul: contemporary, design, and at the same time welcoming, warm and strongly linked to the identity of the Coast. In the rooms, a formal purism with neutral tones dominates. The essential and organic lines of the furnishings, with natural materials, create a visual continuity between inside and outside. The property offers absolute privacy thanks to the garden of over 12,000 square meters that extends over different levels with wonderful terraces and an exclusive view of the sea: silent lawns, the vegetable garden with the possibility of picking seasonal fruit and vegetables, countless corners where you can take time for yourself and finally the private beach, reserved for guests only, with direct access to the crystal clear sea of the bay of Capo Conca.

Seven gardens create a path with perspectives that vary from step to step and that surprise, inebriate with their colors and scents those who cross them and immerse themselves in them. They are special gardens, designed as rooms of a house, a chain of environments immersed in lush nature, each with its own soul, which are reflected in the sea, the absolute protagonist. The private beach, one of the few facing west and sunny until sunset, is reserved exclusively for guests of the house. It can be reached by taking the ancient path of 130 steps immersed in the scents of the Mediterranean scrub. A unique work of naturalistic engineering that has allowed the recovery of the original descent with the exclusive use of local woods and beaten earth.

The White Cube is located in Gagliano del Capo, a quiet village in the heart of Salento, the southernmost region of Apulia that reaches the 'heel of the Italian boot' in south-eastern Italy. The house is located in the regional park stretched between the rocky Adriatic coast and the white beaches of the Ionian Sea. The house was designed by an Italian architect with an international portfolio. His project won the highest recognition given by the Italian architectural institution awarded as the best building built in Italy. The home is located within a dense urban context in the proximity of a historic town centre that links Gagliano to the sea. The home has a balanced equilibrium between the interior spaces and the exterior patio. Following the tradition of the Roman domus, the aggregated volumes of the property overlook an internal courtyard. The interplay of solid and voids also produce a network of smaller patios that intimately connected single rooms to the exterior. The central courtyard, however, is the real heart of the house, a place of conviviality and play, where the swimming pool and the carefully selected vegetation reproduce the presence of natural elements. Overlooking the patio, is a 12m high tower where all the main bedrooms are located. The tower is in line with the bell tower of the church of San Rocco and, while hosting all the bedrooms, it offers a suggestive visual access to the sea. This element is reminiscent of the Norman watchtowers, a typical and fascinating element of the coastal landscape of Salento. The spaces surrounding the patio are connected to the exterior through large double-glazed sliding windows establishing a continuous flow of the interior into the exterior and, vice versa, rendering the exterior as part of the most intimate rooms of the house. The threshold between interior and exterior is marked by the presence of an external canopy made of galvanised iron and covered with bamboo, that connects all the volumes of the house in a single architectural element. This playful exchange between the natural elements and the architecture, the inside and the outside enhances the spiritual well-being of the inhabitants.
