Como Lakehouse

This restoration and interior project transformed an early 20th-century stone house — originally a boatman’s dwelling built above an old boathouse — into a contemporary retreat deeply rooted in its context. Located on a steep, secluded slope overlooking Lake Como, the house maintains its original volumetry and iconic arched water entrance, while revealing a new interior spatiality shaped by light, water, and craftsmanship. Francesca Iovene Francesca Iovene Francesca Iovene The project balances preservation and transformation: the historic lime-washed exterior and intimate lakeside garden have been retained, while the interiors were completely reconfigured to accommodate a fluid, modern way of living.

Torno

The apartment is located within a historical context of great value: Villa Plinianina was built in 1855 by the engineer Canzio Canzi. The villa is placed in the lake panorama of Como as one of the most celebrated examples of eclectic architecture in Venetian neo-Gothic style.

ZB House

ZB House resumes the dialogue with the surrounding context, typical of the villages of Lake Como, with a sincere and contemporary architecture. The use of local stone in the parts in direct contact with the view from the outside, as if to seek protection and privacy, while the quicklime plaster for the most intimate areas of the house, creates an articulation in the volume and in the views towards the lake. ARCHITETTURA ed INTORNI The introduction of two different courtyards, one to screen the living room and the second to the lower level of the house, increase the wealth of views from the inside to the outside, while creating more articulation and diversity of use of the outdoor spaces. ARCHITETTURA ed INTORNI The entire layout... More

Il Sereno

Il Sereno has been built on the shores of Italy’s Lake Como on an existing Darsena, a historical pre-existance of state-owned inalienable.  Inspired by the color of the lake and its glistening water, the nature of the dramatic mountains, and the adjacent village of Torno. A 30-suite hotel surrounded by the Italian Alps, reinterprets the rationalism of the Casa del Fascio by Giuseppe Terragni, with a contemporary accent. The materials are all natural and mainly local: like Pietra di Fossena for the pavement and Ceppo Lombardo for the facade and some interiors.
