BE A PART
HOW TO PARTICIPATE…
Over the next 2 years we will curate, restore and renovate all work necessary for the place to open up to the public.
CASA BENE*DIX
As well as substantial communal areas and studio spaces, there are two floors of accommodation for 16-40 guests in 14 ensuite bedrooms and 2 dormitories.
14 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom
Each bedroom will have twin beds that can be joined into a double, a small writing desk and an en-suite bathroom.
2 dormitories (top floor) with 2 communal bathrooms/toilets
Kitchen
A fully-functioning kitchen for cooking and teaching. Range cooker, fridges, dish washers, lighting and ventilation. It would be great if we can create an opening to the terrace directly from the kitchen and if the two downstairs rooms that were previously storage and kitchen could be linked directly.

THE GARDEN
Swimming pool
Recco offers stone beach, and communal swimming pool in the summer time.
Our reason to have a swimming pool on the grounds is to expand the possibility of play. Once you learn the ‘rules’ of swimming you are safe to play, it gives you an immense freedom to understand water in safe surroundings.
Basketball / outdoor stage
Kitchen garden
Reparation of existing stone walls
Spring fountain by Carla+ installation
Outside eating area
Garden benches, chairs, tables, swings, hammocks, tents
