Atelier Vago Transforms Tuscan Chapel into Artist Residency Space
By
Amy Frearson
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Atelier Vago, an Italian design studio, has transformed a deconsecrated chapel in the Tuscan countryside near Pisa into the Pailunga creative space. The project involved adding vibrant pops of bright blue and yellow to the historic structure while preserving its architectural character. Pailunga serves as a residency space primarily for musicians and artists, creating a 'house for art' that blends contemporary design with traditional chapel architecture. The renovation respects the building's history while introducing modern elements to create functional creative workspaces.
