Materials
Five Marche materials every farmhouse should have.
Cotto, travertine, Furlo stone, lime, chestnut wood. The matter of place.
A farmhouse in Le Marche speaks the language of its materials. Choosing them well is half the project.
Handmade cotto warms the floors and ages better than any industrial finish. Travertine, quarried nearby, shapes thresholds and fireplaces with an unmistakable grain.
Furlo stone for exposed walls, lime for plasters that let historic masonry breathe, chestnut wood for beams and frames: every element has a technical reason before an aesthetic one.
It isn't nostalgia. It's the sensible choice: materials born in this climate, for these houses, that will outlast us.
A farmhouse is waiting.
