意大利城镇Civita di Bagnoregio被称作“天空之城”，是一个景色绝美又极富艺术气息的历史小镇。早在13世纪，该城镇就在Chiaro与 Torbido河流的环绕中安顿。这个栖息在山顶的村镇摇摇欲坠，与周围环境仅靠一条高出海平面70米的大桥相连。严苛的地理环境时刻威胁着小镇的生存状况，为了营救这座美丽的城镇，意大利旅游局在2017年发起保护小镇计划，并鼓励游客来访，促进小镇的经济增长。

Perched on the top of a hill surrounded by the valleys formed by Chiaro and Torbido rivers, Civita di Bagnoregio is renowned for its artistic heritage. The ancient 13th century hilltop village is positioned precariously on a crumbling hilltop with the only access point along a suspended 70 metre high bridge. The village is in need of continued investment to remain intact and is one of the many villages supported by the Italian tourist board as part of its 2017 campaign to protect small villages.

上世纪八十年代，小镇曾经历一场大地震，部分住宅都近乎摧毁。如今，Civita市长通过Airbnb平台向众多艺术家们展示了该小镇上的艺术家住宅，并鼓励寻找艺术创作居所和远道而来的游客们在此停留。而作为支援社区生活的践行者，Airbnb则召集了众多设计师和专业人士来参与小镇住宅改造，携手共同恢复小镇的往昔风采。

Today, Airbnb welcomes the Artist House to its platform hosted by the Mayor of Civita, to serve as an inspiring creative retreat for the artist community and travellers alike. As part of its commitment to support communities around the world, Airbnb has enlisted experts to painstakingly renovate and restore the ancient dilapidated house to its original glory after a major earthquake in the 1980s.

在所有者Federica Sala的合作下，DWA Design Studio对该项目中的住宅进行室内空间改造，并以期展现该小镇浓厚的历史与文艺特性。这个与外界仅依靠一跟桥梁连接的小镇焕发着超现实主义风采，在此次改造过程中，设计师试图捕捉这一历史特性，在去与未来之间建立超现实主义的对话。

In collaboration with the curator Federica Sala, Airbnb appointed DWA Design Studio, to relook the interior of the house and transform the interiors into a home that embodies the historic artistic talents of the village. In a place which seems to be out of time, connected to reality by a long bridge like an antique tuff stone island, the project researches a dialogue between traces of history and contemporaneity, with its necessity to regain the bonds with its past.
