THE ARCHITECTURE
For the particularity of the restoration process led by Welldom, inspired by the philosophy of kalos kai agathos, “beautiful and good”, Ca’ Spineda was elected the most beautiful residential redevelopment in Italy byRebuild 2014. The villa respects, in fact, the canons of the ideal livingaccording to an holistic approach that considers architecture, building construction, design, architecture, interior design and lighting as part of a single, harmonious whole.
It was Francesco Maria Preti, inspired by the Schola Riccatiana of Castelfranco Veneto, theorist of the "Laws of Harmonic Proportions", to define a concept of absolute beauty, harmonious and universal, based on the relationship between architecture, mathematics and music, inspired by the classical Greek philosophy. "The same consonances that delight the ear, delight the vision" as architect Francesco Maria Preti stated in his works.
The restoration project allowed to recover Ca’ Spineda in its entirety, with full respect for its history, providing at the same time the residential units, in addition to the Welldom offices, with modern comfort at the highest level. Moreover, according to the green construction principles, Welldom used only high quality natural materials, high-efficiency systems that help save energy> 30% respect to the traditional ones as well as the latest home automation solutions.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Ca’ Spineda is an old villa built in 1560 by the noble family Spineda De Cattaneis that in 1753 commissioned nearby, on a project by famous architect Francesco Maria Preti, a new residence, nowadays called Villa Loredan, home to Veneto Banca. The important family owned the area until 1905, when the house was sold by the Countess Matilde Rigati Spineda to the family of Gio Batta Dall'Armi. The house went through difficult times until 2007, when Giovanni Fabris, founder and CEO of Welldom, chose the building to become the future home both of its offices and Atelier Welldom and began the restoration of the property.
