Villa W

English description provided by the architects.

W: An architectural ecosystem in motion. W is not just a home: it is a living organism that breathes in rhythm with nature. Every line, void, and texture has been designed to integrate with the existing topography and vegetation, establishing a deep connection with its context.

The project is organized into four ascending levels that follow the natural slope from the street to the forest.

This layout allows each space to have a unique relationship with the environment: from the social areas on the lower levels to the night quarters on the upper level, which open up through a perimeter terrace facing south. There, the landscape becomes the protagonist, captured with a serene and continuous gaze.

A travertine fireplace serves as a sculptural element, separating the interior from a multifunctional water feature that functions as a pool or as a scenographic space for events.

The light reflected on the water transforms the interior, creating shades that evolve with the passage of the day and the seasons.

It is not just a functional connection, but a spatial experience that is lived in transition between lights, shadows, and textures.

The access, excavated into the ground, preserves an original slate rock that emerges as a natural sculpture, reminding of the site’s origin and reinforcing the timeless character of the architecture.

Every shadow, every reflection, every seasonal change becomes part of the living experience, transforming architecture into a living organism that adapts, listens, and blends with its surroundings.

An architecture that, instead of dominating, accompanies, turning living into a constant dialogue with nature.
