Who is a collector?
He is the one who wants to keep a dream all to himself, for the exclusive enjoyment of him, to refine it and feed it continuously over time, with the intention of never completing the collection so as not to end the dream.
Thus was born the idea of building a large black casket, destined over time to house 12 jewels, 12 yellow Lamborghinis, in a scenographic game of lights, mirrors and reflections:
two long and massive black horizontal and parallel concrete walls support a white shed roof that modulates the natural light and diffuses it from above inside, where the walls are of an intense matt black and the floor is made of large stoneware slabs mirror glossy black.
On the headboards, on the other hand, there are large windows in black profile which, due to their position, do not allow the sun to filter directly onto the cars. Other fully glazed areas are a meeting room (with a small library of automotive-themed books and magazines) and a model room (with scale models and Lamborghini memorabilia).
The study of the lights was important in this design perspective: inside we wanted to hide the lighting bodies as much as possible using darklights and wallwashers to conceal the origin of the light but at the same time illuminate the bodywork of each individual car with powerful headlights. led of the latest generation. The internal volume is also underlined by a cut of light at the base of the walls and along their entire length.
For the library and the model room, two large Moon lamps in Japanese paper were used in an evocative way.
Moonlight is also the leitmotif of outdoor lighting: street lamps equipped with specially designed diffuser glass illuminate the black of the walls with a soft but clear and homogeneous light, typical of full moon nights.
These two massive black walls nestled in the middle of the Treviso countryside evoke the large horizontal walls surrounding the Venetian villas in dimension and landscape and are not configured as a building, but rather as a landmark. The walls then modulate and fragment to identify two other spaces: a greenhouse (another passion of the client) in front of the pavilion, and a small garden that forms between them. Around the two walls runs a small test circuit complete with a washing and cleaning area for cars.
