Masseria Auraterrae is a nature resort located in Polignano a Mare, Puglia, Italy. The project restores a historical building of 3000 square metres within 120000 square metres of land. The design follows the Roots concept, which values traditional practices, local materials and construction techniques passed down through generations. Locally available materials reduce transport needs and support the local economy. Rainwater harvesting, renewable energy and organic waste management are integrated. Stone epigraphs and other historic elements were preserved.
