Andrew Trotter Bio

Andrew Trotter, the designer of Villa CastelluccioMasseria Moroseta and more recently Villa Cardo, all of which in the splendid region of Puglia, responds to our In10 questionnaire .

Andrew is a designer in the broadest sense of the term. From architecture, interior and landscape design, to furniture and lighting design. All of it while co-directing Openhouse magazine and working as a creative director for top brands. Previously, he worked for Alessi and London Lighting, Anouska Hemple Designs, as well as fashion designers such as Yohji Yamamoto, Michiko Koshino and Bless.

His architectural style advocates landscape preservation and the use of traditional building techniques. Luminous, fresh, and timeless projects. A subtle interpretation of luxury, where nothing appears new.
