We design, curate and programme places with purpose.
Community-led, culturally relevant, rooted in regenerative practices and hyperlocal research experiments. Places that help us learn and unlearn. Destinations that become social hubs and impact-driven laboratories. Experiences that bring people together.

Rooted in Materiality and Place
Anna Perugini transforms olive pomace into beautiful regenerative creations on the hills of Umbria
In the heart of Umbria, Rastrello is a place quite unlike any other we’ve come across. A hotel set inside the renovated remains of a 500-year-old palazzo, surrounded by a working farm of olive groves, it’s loved and celebrated by the local community. Here, they prioritise centuries-old techniques, caring for the olive trees as naturally as possible: including hand-raking while harvesting, using minimal irrigation, and not tilling the soil.
