The building plot featured a natural slope and was located on the outskirts of Lamporecchio, at
the junction of two roads leading toward the town center.
The previous owner anticipated future development by modifying the site's original topography.
By adding fill, he created a level platform that improved views and increased privacy from the street.
This elevated, panoramic corner serves as the conceptual starting point for a project focused on engaging with the surrounding landscape while maintaining the privacy requested by the client.
The residence is designed as two superimposed and offset parallelepiped volumes, simple, solid forms whose interplay creates visual interest.
The upper volume, more prominently visible from the road, features two cantilevered elements: one shelters the pathway from the entrance gate to the main door, and the other shields the large ground floor windows from the weather.
The monolithic, elongated lines of this modern element are meant to extend outward, emphasizing the balance between solid and void, transparency and opacity.
The ground floor accommodates the living area, comprising the living room, a kitchen with an island, and the dining area, combined into a single glazed space that can be fully opened toward the garden, effectively dissolving the threshold between interior and exterior.
A distribution space provides access to the guest bathroom, the garage, and the staircase leading to the upper level.
On the first floor are located the master bedroom - with walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and
private loggia - a small study, and two additional bedrooms, each equipped with a walk-in closet.
These share a bathroom and a generous loggia that spans the main façade, framing the rolling
hills of Vinci.
Custom-designed furnishings, a carefully developed lighting strategy, and a refined selection of
materials contribute to a coherent spatial identity, enabling a consistent experiential quality
throughout the home.
Continuous cement-resin surfaces contrast with delicate claddings in fine marble, while natural oak flooring introduces warmth to the sleeping quarters. The result is an elegant, timeless aesthetic that synthesizes craftsmanship with contemporary architectural language.
