Casa Alchimia is an historic house (1789) in the heart of Freeport Maine. The Italian owners during the restructuring, completed in the summer 2019, have preserved the historical structure. A major transformation was made inside, focusing on a contemporary design style, with great attention to the use of natural materials. All the floors are in oak, worked in a traditional way and treated with water-based paints and ecological glues, to live in a healthy home. Italian owners wanted to keep the Italian design style.
