About this project
Nestled in the heart of the agricultural landscape, Villa Memento is born from memory, reinterpreting traditional architecture with a contemporary vision that integrates the house into the wine-growing environment and fosters a dialogue with it.
The project originated from a respectful intervention in an old house, preserving its main volume as a testament to the passage of time, as well as some of its unique elements such as the original doors, ceilings formed by wooden beams, and even the mosaic floor tiles. The interior spaces open onto the patio through large windows, inviting light to become an active part of the space while establishing a dialogue between the interior and the exterior, where the pool is located. Lime plaster and mortar adorn the project, evoking local tradition. In this way, past and present converse with each other, creating an atmosphere where the innovation and comfort of the present embrace the existing tradition to merge and become one.
