Within the storied walls of Cave House, Mark Cannata has skillfully bridged the past with the future by combining traditional living and contemporary flexibility. This architectural gem has been designed with an eye towards growth and adaptability; Mark's visionary plan includes spaces that can evolve with the needs of his family. By integrating eight VELUX roof windows, he has illuminated the home with natural light without compromising its quintessential Sicilian charm.
