The world seems to shift when modernity attempts to challenge the immutable laws of rustic architecture. In this project, that ambition is expressed through the subversion of familiar spatial perceptions. Bamboo branches are used as a ceiling material, while unfinished marble with an authentic texture forms the floor.
The gray sandstone walls appear to curve into arches. Although the edges of the frame deliberately reveal the interiors of the rooms, the main focus is the plywood door. Behind it lie subtle contrasts and unsaid nuances. It invites the viewer to appreciate a harmonious blend of handmade elements and nature’s timeless principles shaped by the Italian landscape.
Each room of the villa is imbued with the spirit of Romanesque style, providing a solid foundation for balancing the past and the present. The project is rich with natural symbols reminiscent of Tuscany's rocky and hilly landscapes, such as a stone table with a sharp pedestal and a flat tabletop.
Interestingly, there is no glass in the project, and the famed panoramic windows are replaced by vaulted ceilings. These arches create depth through their symmetrical repetition. This rhythm is not only an aesthetic choice but also a functional one, allowing the villa’s open-plan spaces to have visually distinct areas, including the bed, table, and bathroom.
What gives the project its special charm is tactility. The seemingly fragile light fixture branches, the soft patterned carpets, the woven chair backs, and laundry baskets with the scent of freshness all contribute to a sense of warmth. This experience is perfectly complemented by the silent enjoyment of the surrounding beauty in the garden, a tranquil haven where nature and design meet in quiet harmony.
