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

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 pool is a product ofsquares of 3 m side randomly arranged to fit the available space in the vacant area leftbetween the cottages – and it turned out to be quite a design. 3 partly sunk pavilions were made at the pool's corners – to accommodate fireplaceswith seating surrounding it. A set of stairs led down to each of these suunken pa... More
