The Ostuni Mirror Trullo & Mirror House project harmoniously combines landscape and architecture in a distinctive structure that blends a traditional trullo with a contemporary all-mirrored building, notably showcasing the mirrored design of Connect pergola by Pratic.

Born from the restoration of a trullo, and seamlessly marrying rustic charm with modern comforts, the holiday residence offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the ambiance of Puglia’s countryside, a landscape dominated by vast olive groves and Mediterranean flora. In addition to the trullo’s cozy interior, the property boasts two bioclimatic pergolas, skillfully crafted by the Florentine retailer, Delco Service.

The two structures, measuring 31.5 and 14 square meters respectively, significantly expand the available space. The Connect pergola surpasses its typical role as a summer shelter through its seamless integration with a small stone house that accommodates a kitchen and private bathroom, thus transforming the pergola into a “mirror house.”

Within this mirrored haven is a comfortable master bedroom, a living area with seating and dining spaces, and Connect glass windows that offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Spy Glass technology also ensures complete interior privacy by reflecting the outdoor scenery onto the windows’ surface. Connect’s slim, aluminum profile elegantly blends with the building’s compact architecture, while its Corten coloring, reminiscent of Puglia’s red earth, pays homage to the land it calls home.
