Article source: Massimo Mariani Architect Villa Fagan is a building in Florence, located in Viale Antonio Gramsci, surrounded by a beautiful garden where you can also find an annex. It occupies an area of about 1600 square metres and is one of the most significant pieces of residential architecture in the neighbourhood built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

The architectural restoration and renovation were carried out following the Studio Gurrieri Associati’s project.

We looked more to the garden than to the existing architecture for inspiration.

A slight irony can be seen in all the spaces, mixing the new with the old without rules or priorities.
