VILLA AD ON THE LAKE

In the magnificent setting of Lake Como, a splendid 1920s villa has been given new life, which links it to its past and projects it into the future. The clients, a truly unique family, bought the villa after seeing several properties on the lake. Although their taste is particularly contemporary and clean, they have chosen a historic property, and so this project has represented a magnificent challenge. Right from the start it was decided to play on the dualism between pre-existing liberty style of the facades and a contemporary and contrasting taste in the interiors, maintaining as a common thread the choice of materials, which would dialogue with the lake environment, so that the colors of the exterior and of the interior communicating with each other. The kitchen / dining room, communicating with the living room through a passage emphasized by a Nemo lamp, is a single room, characterized by a kitchen designed specifically for the project in Cardoso stone and smoked oak wood.

The bathroom of the living area is a small jewel, entirely covered in Ceppo di Gre, where all the elements are designed for the project. A large door in iron and wrought glass, custom-designed, leads to the staircase that develops on the 4 floors of the house. On the first floor there are the bedrooms, 3 in total. The master bedroom revolves around the splendid view of the lake, the bed and headboard, also designed to measure, separate the sleeping area from the wardrobe area. The room communicates directly with the master bathroom. In this environment, a large bathtub covered in Louis Gris marble was designed under the window that looks at the magnificent view, the play between the two marbles Gris Louis and Carrara creates a design that is clean and rich at the same time. On the same floor are the other two bedrooms, which share the bathroom completely covered in Bardiglio, the spaces are fresh and bright. The staircase leads to the top floor of the house, which culminates with the turret, which enjoys a breathtaking view of Lake Como.
