Built On Memory - A Couple Transforms An Old Pole Barn Into A Place That Celebrates Family And Country

As Adrian and Magdalena Luchini’s life took root in St. Louis—after a few years, it was clear that the couple was here to stay—it was important to Adrian to try to capture the life he had growing up in the Argentinian countryside. And what better place to do that than at Las Tres Marías, the couple’s second home, in Godfrey, Illinois? “I suppose that when I saw that I would never recuperate what I had in my childhood, I became more determined to reconstruct it—to give that kind of exposure to my children,” says Adrian. “To me, that is what a territory is all about, when you go to a place and feel like you’re a part of it.”
