The large wall that acts as the focal point for the project is, to our minds, an inescapable choice. Whether you see it as a backdrop or screen, it draws the spectator’s eye and mind towards the Villa, beautifully set in the estate’s delightful gardens, and towards the spectacular panorama of the city of Turin, surrounded as it is by the Alps. The wall is not seen as an obstacle but a thought provoking addition to the area. It acts as a link between the Villa and the hills, taking the pre-existing architectural language and turning it into a tangible, monolithic but non-invasive sign. Only its exterior facades have seen the final stages of the finishing process, leaving raw internal surfaces which create a vibrant game of irregular planes that are main feature of the main walkway. The interior takes inspiration from the Villa's eighteenth-century architecture in its use of the passing corridor which sets the main passageway to the Villa's entrance on a single axis. The designed space takes advantage of a unique point of view to create the effect of a telescope fixed on the city, amalgamating architecture and nature, as is the Villa's tradition.
