In a landscape dotted with magnolias, camellias, cedars, cypresses and domestic pines, the "Archi di Luce" complex of eight villas (ranging from 671 m² to 1,314 m²) designed by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, immersed in a 6,000 sqm park, makes living on the lake shore an aesthetic experience, thanks to a play of continuous visual intertwining with the landscape and a sober and refined design.
Of the eight residences, Villa 7 is for sale: 1,187 square metres of living space on six floors, two of which are underground, with six indoor parking spaces, a 440-square-metre garden and a swimming pool.
The south-facing complex extends horizontally, following the contours of the land; an interplay of solids and voids, among glass surfaces, recesses, patios and terraces, erodes the built mass, painted in warm, earthy tones that blend the construction into the vegetation.
Perspectives framed by a series of timeless tectonic elements such as arches and vaults engage in a close dialogue with the landscape, dramatised by dynamic chiaroscuro effects and reflections on water surfaces.
Inside, the wood flooring and fixtures interact with the immaculate walls and minimalist furnishings, creating a balanced dialogue of contrasts between domestic warmth and rarefied atmospheres.
