Design of a 2,200 sqm private villa, conceived as a contemporary retreat in constant dialogue with nature.
The guiding idea was to create an architecture that would minimize its impact on the surrounding environment, while returning generous green areas and open spaces that become an integral part of the residence.
Large glass façades establish a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, allowing natural light to penetrate deeply and offering continuous views of the landscape. The spatial layout was designed to foster a sense of harmony, with essential architectural lines in dialogue with inner gardens, patios, and green areas carved into the very form of the house.
 
                     
                             
                             
                             
                            The choice of materials follows the same philosophy: natural stone, warm woods, and soft fabrics coexist with refined textures that preserve an authentic yet sophisticated character. Every detail has been designed to convey a sense of continuity, combining comfort and elegance with a deep respect for the environment.
 
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                            This villa represents a new balance between architecture and nature, where the spaces not only welcome those who inhabit them but also open up and merge with the surroundings, creating a living experience that is both exclusive and harmonious with the landscape.
