Designed to sit discreetly within the rolling landscape of the Garda moraines, MAJC House is a single-family residence with an annex and a swimming pool that faces a site of particular natural value and stringent landscape constraints. The architecture does not pursue iconic effects but favors harmony with the site, adopting chromatic and material choices that are continuous with the earth and surrounding vegetation.
The living area, conceived as a glazed volume, establishes a direct relationship with the outdoors: large openings abolish the distinction between inside and outside, while earth-toned walls and sage-green brise-soleil evoke the presence of the vegetation.
Inside and along the external walkways, materiality continues the narrative with sober elegance. Large-format porcelain stoneware slabs alternate with warm oak planks laid lengthwise. The choice of finishes — even the most refined and distinctive of the service areas — though sophisticated, shuns any display: they are perceptible but never imposing. The same holds for the scratched exterior renders and the Credaro stone that characterizes the partly below-grade portions of the architecture.
The furnishings, deliberately reduced to a minimum, reflect the same restraint that defines the entire project: functional elements designed to leave room for the landscape rather than to assert themselves over it.
The complexity of the site — both in terms of terrain configuration and imposed constraints — required a bespoke approach, made up of targeted structural solutions and a construction management that was not without challenges. The result was a collaborative effort in which continuous dialogue between designers and contractors transformed difficulties into opportunities for experimentation, while always maintaining a high quality of outcome.
MAJC House thus appears as a discreet refuge, immersed in nature and conceived for those who wish to live with slowness. A home where true luxury is not display but balance: light, silence, measure.
