Nostos is a project of hospitality and permaculture in Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi (Sorrento coast). The project intends to create experiences of ease and sharing through everyday practices of appraisal and care of the ground, of the people, and the place we dwell. The house embodies and binds together the tradition of spaces and architectural shapes of the rural houses of Sorrento and the modern technique of bioenergetic building construction (Passivehaus). The restoration of the house relied on the Passivhaus technique. In doing so, Nostos has become not only as the very first case of Passivehaus in the Campania Region, but also as an enclave of comfort and sustainability on the Sorrento coast. As point of departure, we opened the door of our family house. We understand the idea of caring as contained in a dense net of concrete acts of silent kindness and local relationships.
