The project’s main objective is the restoration and rehabilitation of an urban villa, including the main building, landscaping of the garden, and other exterior elements. The project aims to preserve the villa’s historical architectural features while adapting it to contemporary needs and new functions. The design decisions focused on the harmonious integration of the existing elements with the necessary interventions for restoring and reconfiguring the interior and exterior spaces.

The project’s vision was to maintain the building’s architectural authenticity, respecting the historical details of the medieval style while creating a functional and aesthetically appropriate setting for the villa’s new purpose. The original façade, with its rough plaster and natural color, will be preserved, including decorative elements such as the twisted belt and the diamond-shaped frieze, characteristic features of medieval architecture. The roof will remain with red tiles, while the gutters and downspouts will be
replaced with more durable copper materials.

The exterior spaces, including the garden and fountain, will be restored and landscaped to enhance the experience of visitors and users of the building. Access to the garden will be facilitated by restoring the original stairs and fence, maintaining the traditional aesthetic appearance. The woods and green spaces will be landscaped with plants specific to the region, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere and the ecological rehabilitation of the area. Additionally, the courtyard will feature a green space dedicated to recreation and socializing.

To comply with legal regulations and ensure the proper functionality of the building, minimal modifications have been made to the interior. The original structure has been preserved, and only some rooms, such as the vestibule, have been expanded to provide additional comfort and more efficient circulation. As such, each room benefits from natural light and mechanical ventilation.

In addition to restoring the building and exterior spaces, measures have been taken to protect any potential archaeological discoveries during the works, with the possibility of temporarily halting excavations and researching any historical remains.

The project aims to restore a historic building and revitalize the entire area. It respects local architectural traditions and values while adapting the villa to meet the needs of a modern and sustainable function.
