IN THE NAME OF FRANK ( and others)

  • June 20, 2019

In a magazine where the Villa was defined as ‘almost archaic rigor‘. There are many references to the organic architecture defined by Frank Lloyd Wright as “a branch of architecture that promotes harmony between man and nature, creating a new system in balance between built environment and natural environment through the integration of various man-made artificial elements (buildings, furnishings, etc.), and natural surroundings of the site. All become part of a single interconnected organic architectural space”.

The villa wraps the pond as a place for summer conviviality and at the same time contains the large one central fireplace as a space for winter communion. Water and fire as opposed but natural elements and wanted for the same purpose. The extensive use of wood and many architectural references make the property a particular place for the unsettling succession of chiaroscuro, change of direction, details, hidden environments and unexpected volumes. But all with the common denominator of the object surrounded by nature. Nature that besieges and seems to want to enter thanks to the wide passages, without barriers, accompanied by the light that penetrates the many holes at any time of day.

As in the best Wrightian tradition, every detail is custom designed, from furnishings to fixtures, from the doors to the lighting, from handles to built-in wardrobes, from the central staircase to the skylights. A unique one also for yours events.
