The Casa es project concerns the renovation of a modernist villa from the 1960s, located on the hillside of Bordighera, a former fishing village on the Ligurian coast, discovered and loved by "Grand Tour" painters and writers, such as Claude Monet, who, in three months, between February and april 1884, painted 38 pictures depicting the incredible sky, light, vegetation and views of the Mediterranean landscape.
The same passion moved a charming French couple, determined to build their "buen retiro," a home open to their dynamic and growing family and friends, on this site.
The choice fell on an existing villa, built in the 1960s, surrounded by a lush garden with typical Mediterranean vegetation, such as pines, olive trees, palms... and with just the right space for a new swimming pool and solarium.
A large basement parking lot to accommodate communal passions (cars and cinema) and a flat roof with a fantastic view of the Mediterranean for everyone's enjoyment were the two decisive aspects for the final choice.
The renovation respected the original materials and architectural features with consistent new additions such as brick for the facade and limestone for the flooring, used both indoors and outdoors.
On the roof, Ipe wood cladding and a shade pergola leaning against the brick chimney helped transform the space into a rooftop terrace to enjoy the special sunsets of the place.
The interior design includes a new open space for the living area, with a central double-sided fireplace as the main compositional element.
The rooms and bathrooms are essential. The interior stairs were preserved and remodeled with new materials such as glass for the railings and limestone for the steps.
Particular attention was paid to the design of the lighting, integrated into the ceilings and walls inside or hidden in the vegetation outside.
The pool is an unostentatious wellness space, made of the same materials used for the house, with a mortar finish that returns the colors of the Mediterranean sky and sea to the water.
