The formal yet cosy architecture of a villa facing the Dolomiti mountains, embrace a garden that offers a touch of privacy while embellishing the natural scenery. The strongly recognisable signature style is rigorous yet at the same time natural; the design layout follows the building’s contours while accommodating the soft and wild forms of the carefully selected plants. Guests are welcomed by a small forest of holly and swamp spanish oaks as soon as they step foot through the gate, as they are left to ponder on the home’s large and striking windows. A piece of landscape becomes a domestic setting, screening the view of the surrounding homes and shading a sun deck in ipe wood decking.

The design layout creates oblique surfaces parallel to the line of the home’s development, where the succession of materials highlights the strong relationship with the perspective views from inside. The windows overlook the garden, framing corners of relaxation on perfect display under the sunlight. The home’s southern exposure creates original plays on light and shade, where clear decorative tones form a pleasant contrast with the darker colours of the structural elements. A long pergola made from graphite-coated aluminium elements hosts a relaxation area facing the home’s living area. The entire body is raised with respect to the large grass area and protected by technical curtains.

Forms and colours are in continuous contrast, in a constant dialogue between light and dark. The living spaces are completely covered in black and graphite, while lighter white and dove grey nuances are proposed in the flowers, furniture and decorative items. Small lights are hidden in the garden, highlighting the evening beauty of the plants, without ever being overwhelming. As evening falls, the tones are diluted, the prospective changes to become more intimate and welcoming, one’s gaze shifts towards the inside in search of the warmth of the home. The lights turn on and one loses track of what’s inside and what’s outside. The spaces are tightly connected and in continuous dialogue: the rooms are permeable and there’s no longer any difference between sitting in the living or relaxing under the foliage of the oak trees. It’s always HOME.
