Luxury house

Luxury hillside residence integrated into the landscape. Located in Las Lomas, Boadilla del Monte, one of the most exclusive residential areas in Madrid, this contemporary luxury house is conceived as a natural extension of its sloping east-west plot. The project transforms the topography into a sequence of landscape terraces and precise volumens that establish a balanced dialogue between architecture and landscape.

In the landscape of the Euganean Hills, in Abano Terme, the Ville Thalia project reorganizes a plot through the composition of two distinct building bodies: a single-family residence and a two-family building. The intervention chooses a contemporary architectural language, based on the clarity of volumes and the control of proportions, distancing itself from traditional forms to assert its own geometric identity. The genesis of the project starts from an essential and linear floor plan. To prevent this simplicity from translating into visual staticity, the design of the first-floor elevations introduces a decisive three-dimensional variation. The main envelope, characterized by sand-colored plaster, is interrupted and rhythmed by the inser... More

In the province of Padua, the Villa Victoria project stands out for a precise stylistic choice that moves away from conventional white standards to explore the richness of dark and enveloping tones. The intervention works on the density of the space, where light serves to enhance the tactile and chromatic quality of the surfaces. The generating element of the internal composition is the chestnut oak floor. This continuous, brown surface acts as a noble base upon which the living area volumes are set, through contrast or assonance. The kitchen is resolved architecturally through columns in liquid bronze metal, whose luminous vibration serves as a backdrop for the central island: a stone monolith with warm veins, a material that reappears pu...

Villas and cabins are arranged to follow the natural topography, opening generously to views of the f... More
