Transformation - No. 3

After an 11 month absence from Cortona, the owner of this transformed townhouse finally made it back...

Holed up in the UK and unable to travel to Cortona since September 2020, the final stages of this town house’s transformation, was done with the owner pretty much left in the dark. Having given the Fedi team carte blanche to do whatever they saw fit – and doing little more than approve budgets as they were presented – the team wanted to surprise her with the finished project and they mutually agreed that no photographic updates would be sent.

11 months later, she finally made it back to Cortona, excited as a school kid to see what had been done: In her own words “I’ve just walked in and I’m blown away! It’s like a fairytale. It’s stunning.” If the photos below are anything to judge by, indeed it is!
