Saving a Nontropolis

Marcello has  visited many, almost abandoned Nontropolises, with the most stunning, soul enhancing urban scapes and incredible stone houses, small and large. He has designed a way to make these buildings comfortable for 21st century living.

Former village economies may not have become unsustainable. Metropolises may have lured the young away with the promise of a more modern and exciting way of living. The elderly that stayed are gradually passing away leaving houses abandoned.

Where others may see decline, outdated habitats and ways of living, Marcello sees a huge potential that can save these Nontropolises, and offer a holistically better alternative for those who are worn out from life in a metropolis.

Some of these Nontropolises are closer to a town with all essential services than many suburbs of metropolises. This means that you don't have to live without the neccesities that largen towns offer.

Being surrounded by nature, with houses built with natural materials, Nontropolises can offer healthier living environments, neighbours you know, a real community vs. a virtual one.

The way we work has changed and continues to change, which can sustain live in a Nontropolis. Where realtors often see AirBnbs as the only way to make a living, Marcello sees different, more sustainable options.
