At the heart of Valdobbiadene, among the rolling hills of the Treviso Prealps, the project seeks to breathe new life into a historic rural complex, transforming it into a place where collective memory, landscape and contemporary architecture converge. In a region deeply rooted in the culture of the vine, the architecture reinterprets the area’s agrarian heritage through a contemporary language that remains respectful of its history.

Named Borgo Taurino, the restored complex unfolds around a central courtyard, reclaiming the site’s original communal vocation. Once the focal point of daily life for a large farming family, the courtyard later served a bull-breeding station and a frasca, a traditional rural tavern associated with local wine culture.

The conversion into a hospitality destination gives the historic hamlet a new purpose, preserving traces of its past while allowing its history to become an integral part of the experience of its renewed spaces.

Stone, timber and steel establish a carefully calibrated dialogue between old and new, permanence and transformation, while reconnecting the complex with the valley and its surrounding vineyards. The courtyard, landscaped areas and open spaces become integral to the experience, deepening the relationship between architecture and its natural setting.

Borgo Taurino tells a contemporary story of place and culture: an architecture of hospitality that safeguards collective memory while projecting it into the present. A renewed rural hamlet where past and future coexist, restoring a distinctive sense of identity to the territory.
