Mountain Retreat Villa is a contemporary luxury residence conceived for a steep, forested mountain setting, where architecture and landscape are carefully integrated to create a private retreat immersed in nature. The design is organized as a series of interconnected volumes that follow the natural topography of the site, minimizing the visual impact of the building while maximizing panoramic views toward the surrounding forest and mountainous landscape. The stepped configuration creates multiple terraces and outdoor spaces, allowing different areas of the residence to maintain a direct relationship with the surrounding environment.

Rather than starting from a blank site, this project began with a partially constructed reinforced-concrete frame that had been abandoned during construction. The existing structural system, together with an already-built swimming pool, established fixed conditions that could not be altered, transforming the project into an architectural exercise in adaptation rather than replacement. The greatest challenge was working within the limitations of a narrow structural footprint while fulfilling the client's request for a spacious contemporary family villa. The upper floor was required to accommodate three bedrooms despite the restricted width of the existing frame. Instead of modifying the primary structure, a carefully integrated one-meter ca... More

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...

The freedom of light, the breath of air, and the tactile presence of natural materials serve the idea of creating a house that does not dominate nature, but continues its quiet poetry. Lucy Lago Lucy Lago Lucy Lago Pure horizontals, portals that frame the landscape, and natural stone and wood in nude earthy tones c... More
