Houzz at a glance


Who lives here: Guglielmo Parasporo, creator of the home rental website Cities Reference, and his wife, Elena del Drago, an art critic
Location: Noto, in Siracusa province, next to the Vendicari nature reserve on the Italian island of Sicily
Size: 2,690 square feet (250 square meters)
Architect: Mario Cutuli

The design of this home is a contemporary and innovative interpretation of the principles of organic architecture, inspired by the sinuous shapes of the nearby Hyblaean Mountains. The home is divided into three wings: three irregular polygons with rounded corners and slightly sloping walls. It serves as a vacation getaway and the perfect base for discovering the surrounding area.

The central wing, designed for socializing and spending time together, houses the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms and the bathrooms are in the other two wings. In one of these wings, designed to host guests, there’s also a small kitchenette.
