This is a project by Studio Marco Piva and it is located at Lake Como, Italy. This project is situated in the suggestive location of Como Lake. The construction was really degraded, completely abandoned, so it was necessary to first restore all hedges, remove and replace the existing roof, the construction of the waterproof layer, removing all the pavement and of the balconies and terraces outside; the conformation of suitable substrates for indoor flooring, and the shaving of all internal and external walls, with demolition of all the boards to construct interior walls of adequate thickness. The key element of the project has been to develop a continuity between the formal structure and its framework, privileging light colors and natural materials in harmony with the surrounding green areas, for a pleasant, cozy and elegant global scene. The harmonization between the residence and nature has been done through the use of full length windows. Transparency is the key element of the project and the glass is the material par excellence. Through the windows the project interacts with the environment and takes part in it.Another main element in the design is the light, decisive in the creation of charm and scenery designed to enhance the features of the project. Even the green, was conceived as an architectural element, in its route of stairs, gardens, balconies and window sills. A plain project, elegant, in harmony with nature and the environment.
