Nestled on one of the natural terraces overlooking Lake Garda, the villa blends seamlessly into the landscape, preserving the site’s century-old olive trees and cypress trees. The single-storey pavilion, organized around two generous courtyards, establishes a continuous dialogue with the outdoors through a wraparound portico, defined by a slender white aluminium structure that enhances the porcelain stoneware surfaces. The swimming pool follows the site’s natural topography, while the roof—conceived as a fifth façade and clad in large-format ceramic slabs—emerges as one of the project’s defining architectural features.
