Villa Cardo is a 3 bedroom house designed by Studio Andrew Trotter, who designed Masseria Moroseta.
Like the masseria, Villa Cardo has been built with local materials and using traditional methods of building, to ensure the Pugliese vernacular shines through, keeping the building light, airy and cool in the summer.
The house is within one hectare of land, filled with olive and almond tress, and with views to the sea from the roof terrace.
A small-sized space has been transformed into a space that is collected, but at the same time airy.
On the ground floor the cocktail bar is the space of movement, suitable for a cocktail or a quick lunch. The quality of the space suggested working on the wall, creating a light stone parietal sculpture, which would brighten the environment and become a focal point.
On the upper level, the room offers a cozy environment, almost a domestic living room: a large bench covered with cushions underlines the central wall, a system of shelves at the height of the tables rebalances the proportions of the frescoed room, large mirrors enlarge the room reflecting the light coming from the large openings, on the floor a woven vinyl floor, gives the impression of a large carpet.
The apartment is located in a building of the early twentieth century in the Navigli area in Milan. It is an apartment of about 250 square meters spread over two levels: on the lower floor is the living area consisting of an entrance hall, a large living room, the kitchen, the dining room and a bathroom, on the upper floor is the sleeping area with four bedrooms, a walk-in closet and two bathrooms.
The Sile is part of a nine single-family residences in the beach town of Jesolo Lido, Italy, and it’s built adjacent to the JMA-designed Jesolo Lido Pool Villa. This two-patios house has been developed to allow a strong relationship between inside spaces and outdoor areas, with the goal of visually reading the entire length of the small plot on which it is built.
The indoor living area, as the master suite on the upper level, have a mostly transparent enclosure facing two different-sized patios. The swimming pool, cladded in white mosaic glass tiles, runs on the South side of the main court, intersecting the building in order to gain length and at the same time proximity to the indoor sitting area. The smaller court on the opposite side has an intimate dimension with olive trees placed for shading as well as for privacy from the adjacent street.
A complete renovation, signed by Bartoli Design, for the headquarters of an associated professional firm. The architects envisioned a project to meet the needs of style and use, to guarantee the well-being of employees and visitors, with a comfortable welcoming environment.
Inside a 1950s building, Anna and Paolo Bartoli started from the merging of two adjacent apartments, a total of 320 square meters; then, they focused on redefining volumes, in order to eliminate wall irregularities, and on the succession of spaces, designing solutions to combine efficiency and usability and creating this workplace with the same care used to design a house.
Residence Villa Drei Birken is located on a hillside at the end of a residential area in the Dolomites. The Villa, built in 1960 and renovated in the 80’s, originally consisted of a simple and low volume with owner’s apartment and four holiday flats. The new extension adds six holiday apartments as well as functional and common spaces. The facade opens through a V-shaped surface from the mostly closed North facade to the completely glazed South facade, facing the sun and the panoramic view of the Dolomites.
The building stands in the borough of Santa Maria, place of pilgrimage near Dobbiaco. At the edge of the village, the site consists of a slope towards South, facing the sun and the Dolomites.
The idea of the project was developed starting from the restrictions imposed by legislation, such as minimized building surface and the requirement of a pitched roof parallel to the slope. The final volume and the concept of the whole project is the result of a subtraction process. Starting with the maximum volume (as derived from given height and surface) certain parts of the volume were substracted to create specific functions; a covered space for parking, balconies protected from the weather, and the terraces in the attic level which introduce light into the house.
noa* network of architecture rethink an existing city apartment and conceive it completely new from spacial concept to the smallest details of interior design.
The city apartment in the center of Bolzano (IT) got completely renovated. There’s not much left from the existing spaces: All internal walls and windows have been removed, floors have been ripped out – only two static important pillars were left.
„The apartment has changed hands, because of a change of generation… The existing room layout wasn’t meeting the new owner’s needs, so we opted for a completely free and radical space concept.”
AD HOUSE was born on a hill with a nice view of the Langhe and its vineyard in a small lot located between two existing buildings.
The area was presented with great potentials due to its position and the surrounding landscape but the project was limited by an environmental protective restriction for one part of the lot. This restriction divided the lot in two parts. The volume of the building with the gable roof with its wooden beams are the results of the constriction that was the main challenge of the project. Despite this limitation, on the other side, was possible to realize a flat roof as a terrace. The building is a result of two parts that have different shapes but are combined together.
The Villa Torlonia in San Mauro Pascoli, near the towns of Rimini and Cesena, Italy, is one of the most important cultural heritage sites of the Rubicone river valley for its architectural and historical significance. Defined as a “monumental complex”, its many buildings, built throughout history, have come to have a peculiar artistic, historical and ethno-anthropological relevance.
Once a perfect rural factory with warehouses, production rooms, work environments and residences, current circumstances have determined its inevitable changing in function converting the complex into a suggestive venue for cultural events.
