Located on the eastern periphery of Verona, this residence engages with the surrounding transitional landscape with a respectful and refined approach. Its design is simple yet essential, drawing inspiration from historical rural homes and reinterpreting them with a contemporary vernacular.
The portico, a unifying element between the volumes, echoes the entrances of late 19th-century estates, harmoniously integrating garden and park. The choice of materials and proportions reflect local tradition, yet are imbued with a touch of modernity, especially in the detailing and the selection of materials. Hand-hammered, pigmented exposed concrete, paired with the warm tones of brick, creates a dialogue between tradition and innovation.
Inside the residence, the interiors blend functionality with aesthetic elegance. The main volume, which houses the living spaces, is designed around a few key, recognizable elements, each serving a distinct purpose. Each room is crafted to ensure visual continuity with the garden, grounding the inhabitants in the natural surroundings. This design philosophy extends to the secondary, more utilitarian volume, which includes a garage, service areas, and a studio dedicated to the owners' professional activities. The singular level of the house reinforces this connection to the land and the materiality within reflects a contemporary take on traditional textures, blending the tactile and the visual to create an atmosphere that is both modern and timeless.The roof design, featuring tapered extremities, not only pays homage to local architectural styles but also enhances functionalities such as shading and shelter, showcasing a contemporary approach to form and function.
