A twentieth-century rationalist building that relates to a landscape, that of the Roman hills, without hiding its formal autonomy, exhibiting it as a contemporary villa.
Its shape, which rests on the slope of the hill overlooking Lake Albano, appears to be an abstract architecture that stands out in the landscape without hiding its plasticity.
The redevelopment of this villa, where the relationship with the landscape be-comes fundamental for the views that open from the individual rooms and that describe, like paintings, the almost perfect surroundings, arises from the concept of removing, of simplifying to get to the essence of the spaces.
Our work was rigorous: everything in the villa that was an integral part of an al-ready historicized interior architecture design remains as evidence of a balanced and deliberately bourgeois project, in the Italian tradition that from Portaluppi to Giò Ponti defines the design canons of the twentieth-century villa. Our interven-tion is therefore silent, it does not want to appear but simply become an integral part of a dialogue with history that arises from a reflection on the conservation of beauty and its canons.
