The guiding design principle was to create a house that combines transparency with sustainability, forging a strong relationship between the villa and the landscape. The harmony between landscape and interior, architecture and nature, was a key design determinant, particularly regarding sight lines, materials, colours, and lighting. The house is designed from inside out, creating uninterrupted views to the surrounding nature while providing shelter and intimacy. All these aspects work together to ensure the house’s sense of timelessness.
Residence is the stage of life, the harbor of soul, the carrier of art. It is often said that writing mirrors the writer and painting reflects the painter. Similarly, residence shows the different philosophy of life. The interior design of residence has evolved from stylized to personalized, from distinctive to blending.
Across large-sized foyer, red defines artistic enthusiasm of the space. Geometric golden sculpture, with its vintage grandeur, intertwines with the red, like melodies that reverberate throughout the space.
The villa is situated on a piece of land that enjoys a splendid view of Lugano Lake.
The suggestive view and the impending presence of the rocky mass behind the site have dictated the principles of inclusion of the entire building. The villa relates to the rock – from which it originates – in a dynamic dialogue, and at the same time, stretches towards the lake.
The design of this house is the result of the relationship between the individual functions: on the south side of the building, the living room and the kitchen are on the same level with direct access to the terrace. Behind the kitchen there is the “Stube room”, behind the living room the library. Upstairs there are bedrooms and baths. In the basement there are cellars, the garage and technical rooms. Formally, the building is a soft butterfly-like shape with rounded corners, where each floor is not exactly on top of each other.

A weekend house, located in one of the hills that create a border around the town of Yaruquí, which is noticeably developed by the new airport of Quito.
The hillside terrain with a regular slope offers impressive views towards the Tababela Valley, with the City of Quito as a backdrop.
The lot is large, which allowed the dispersion of the program and enabled us to design a a single leveled building, thus reducing costs. The project has a bar as axis and a satellite; the 21 meter long bar distributes the program in a linear way, so that all spaces open onto a large porch facing the view and merging the interior with the exterior. At the same time, the horizontally placed bars provide a better adaption to natural topography of the location. The satellite contains the covered parking lots and a large warehouse.
For a rural location just outside Istebna in the Southern Polish Beskidy mountains, BLUEROOM has designed and delivered a Villa. The Client requested a unique destination for family get togethers, to receive and entertain guests, and to rent out as a holiday home. The design merges the progressive desires of the Client with traditional vernacular design regulations on a strongly sloping site. This generates a Villa with two faces.
The villa was built in 1936 according to the design of a noted Czech architect Vladimír Grégr, grandson of a well-known journalist and politician. Built in functionalist style, the villa has significant rustic elements including conical exterior walls, rough dragged work and wooden casing. In the framework of maximum respect to the original character of the house, the modifications include removal of the accumulation of insensitive silt of the 80s, highlighting the unique spaces and architectural details, and adaptation to modern living standards.
In an attempt to create a unique typology of a vacation home, Gliding Villa integrate principles of Thai beliefs, i.e. Feng Shui, with site context and modern design principles. Located at the end of a dead-end road, the site offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains. While owners were hesitant to purchase the plot due to its dead-end location, this superstitiously negative condition is resolved by dividing the site and program into two projects, leaving the area facing the dead-end as an open courtyard; a shared landscape between the living functions distributed along the site boundary. Because Feng Shui determine auspicious settings by referencing local features such as bodies of water and terrain, integrating such beliefs with natural ventilation allowed us to create a sustainable project that provide comfortable living conditions.
Hunan Lu Villa is an exclusive residence located in Shanghai, which Vudafieri- Saverino Partners – architectural studio based both in Milan and also in Shanghai – has reinterpreted defining an unheard-of balance between oriental evocation and western nuances.
The project represents a perfect combination between two distinctive traditions – Chinese and western – and of the long history of their relationships: inside antique artefacts, artworks and ritual spaces coexist in perfect harmony with western “objects of desire”, neither doming the other. It is precisely for these characteristics that Hunan Lu Villa has recently been awarded the prize of best project in the Private Housing category at the Archmarathon Awards 2018.
