架构师提供的文本描述。DomusCivita在2011年被所有者和建筑师帕特里齐奥·弗拉达尼和他的合伙人马克以灾难性的状态买下。有人居住，但被滥用和割裂，房子的主要结构是一个更大的建筑物的一部分，在20世纪被分开，尽管最初的结构可追溯到14世纪，当时的Civita di BagnoRegio镇目前的城市布局。在古老的石头壁炉、木梁、石墙和陶土地板上，仍然可以看到房子原始美的迹象。

Text description provided by the architects. Domus Civita was purchased in a disastrous state in 2011 by owner and architect Patrizio Fradiani and his partner Mark. Inhabited but abused and cut up, the house main structure was part of a larger building divided up in the 20th century even though the original structure dates from the 14th century, when the town of Civita di Bagnoregio current urban layout developed. The signs of the house original beauty were still visible in the old stone fireplace, the wooden beams, the stone walls, the terracotta floors.

然而，这座房子最有趣的特点是它与地下世界的联系，都雕刻在柔软的火山凝灰岩中。通过一系列的隧道和洞穴可以追溯到中世纪，以及罗马和伊特鲁里亚时代，房子的底层有一个楼梯挖入石头，到达一个巨大的地下罗马水槽，仍然保存完好。通过蓄水池，你可以到达一个废弃的花园，悬吊在2石悬崖之间的城镇边缘。从花园里，更多的伊特鲁里亚人和中世纪的洞穴被挖掘到岩石中，为创造性的利用开辟了有趣的可能性。

However the most interesting feature of the house was its umbilical connection to its underground world all carved into the soft volcanic tufa stone. Through a series of tunnels and caves dating from the middle ages as well as Roman and Etruscan times the house ground floor had a stair dug into the stone and reaching a large underground Roman water cistern still perfectly preserved. Through the cistern you could reach an abandoned garden suspended between 2 stone cliffs at the edge of town. From the garden more caves of Etruscan and medieval times were dug into the rock opening up interesting possibilities for creative uses.

改造项目成为了一种创造一个合适的连接的练习，它将涵盖所有这些不同的空间，并使2600年的建筑历史感觉有机和宜居。虽然主要的房屋结构通过保存和恢复所有旧的特点和材料而得到了全面的翻新，但我们决定给它注入现代元素和浪漫的感觉，这些元素对房子来说是免费的，而不是剽窃的。洞穴和石窟被清理和修复，被改造成一个冥想室，艺术画廊，一个酒窖，一个带热水浴缸的游泳池和一个花园厨房。

The renovation project became an exercise in creating a suitable connection that would embrace all these different spaces and make 2600 years of architectural history feel organic and livable. While the main house structure got fully renovated by preserving and restoring all the old features and materials, we decided to infuse it with modern elements and romantic touches that felt complimentary to the house but not plagiaristic. The caves and grottos got cleaned and restored and converted into a meditation room, art galleries, a wine cellar, a pool with hot tub and a garden kitchen.

花园里清除了150棵树、黑莓灌木丛和常春藤，与石崖、山洞和现代干预措施形成了鲜明对比，成为了这一地区最传统的正式意大利花园。新花园以一种令人惊讶的方式将古老的、古老的和新的连接起来，几乎增加了多姆斯·齐维塔建筑拼图中缺失的部分。所有使用的材料是一致的，在整个多层建筑盛宴，以帮助增加一个建筑的一致性，这是一个背景的城镇，但现代和一个异想天开的元素注入了所有的顶部。所有的家具都通过跨越60年的意大利现代设计，同时创造和谐的空间，以及它们之间的协同作用，更加强化了这一理念。

The garden was cleared of 150 trees, blackberry bushes and ivy and, to contrast the space with the stone cliffs, the caves and the modern interventions,  became a formal Italian garden in the best tradition of the area. In a surprising way the new garden bridges the ancient, the old and the new, almost adding that missing piece of the architectural puzzle of Domus Civita . All the materials used  are consistent throughout this multistory architectural extravaganza  to help add an architectural consistency that is contextual to the town yet modern and with  a whimsical element infused on top of all of it. All the furnishings reinforce this idea even more by spanning 60 years of Italian modern design and creating at once harmonious spaces and synergy between all of them.
