Article source: Studioata Facing the picturesque Gulf of Alassio and located in a bright panoramic view, a nineteenth-century villa includes a ruined and abandoned 35 m2 wide dependence surrounded by a wide terraced park. The latter was destined to be demolished by the client and transformed in a private residence.  Image Courtesy © Beppe Giardino

The movement of the ceiling, which bends adapting itself to the features of the hill and descend toward the Sea, generates a staircase wood teak-coated and, at the same time, becomes terrace, seats, kitchen space, private bedroom and bathroom.

The kitchen worktop is fully made in cement and hidden by a portion of the wood-teak pavement which, if necessary, becomes the banister for the night area lifting it up.

Image Courtesy © Beppe Giardino The described gradient of intimacy is mirrored also by the openings, which frame the lemon threes and olive threes of the park, gradually decreasing in correspondence of the more private spaces; in addition, the surrounding terracing terrain and the internal subdivision in levels are finely reminded through the openings which are rhythmically alternated.
