In Treviso, an ambitious single-family property created on the trail of 5 former agricultural buildings

When the homeowner is a design enthusiast

As with the structure, the interior design was also profiled on the basis of the personality of the owners: he, in particular, is passionate about design - he is the owner of a company that creates interior and furnishing projects tailor-made for luxury hotels and real estate complexes - for which he wanted his home to reflect his preferences, in a mix of elegance and contemporaneity while maintaining its authentic character.

To satisfy the requests, the architect Silvia Prevedello tells us: "With the owner of the casa  we had fun using colour. Letting ourselves be inspired by the rural context, we played with the earthy nuances, with the vibrations of the tones that range from dark brown to dove grey.

Another characterizing element are the glass windows, vertical cuts which, in continuous references between the inside and the outside, give a contemporary appearance to the design of the casing and light to the interiors".

A geography of generous spaces

The house, which in total including porches, spreads over an area of 400 square meters, welcomes with a vast living area consisting of a open space of 100 square meters which the building in wood allowed it to be kept free and open, without support pillars to interrupt its continuity.

The kitchen combines the large retractable cupboards of the pantry with wine cellar with an equally large central work surface, which ends with a snack surface for breakfast or quick lunches.

The nerve center of the house, and a place of conviviality, is the dining area, where the family gathers around the large Zanotta table surrounded by comfortable chenille armchairs and embellished with an ad hoc sculptured chandelier in brass rings.

This leads to the living area, a welcoming environment furnished with Maxalto sofas, tables and poufs and defined by an equipped wall, designed and built on measurement, which frames the TV and follows the diagonal shape of the roof.

Facing south, towards the park, the living area, thanks to the double height of the roof, overlooks a mezzanine, a reading and study room, an atelier where the landlady dedicates herself to painting, equipped with a bookcase that is structurally integrated into the handrail of the staircase.

The latter is made up of a single piece of treated metal, painted and shaped like a sheet stuck into the wall.

The floors, in brushed and fumigated tobacco-stained oak wood, are laid in an irregular herringbone pattern. The work of a local craftsman, they are characterized by different formats which, going from the largest to the smallest, increase the perception of spatiality of the context. Also on the ground floor, to close the living area, is the guest bathroom decorated withWall & Decò.

A tasty gem to take the place of an outbuilding

Final little gem: there is an area of the house which can only be accessed from the outside entirely dedicated to children. It takes the place of what we are used to defining outbuilding, but it is an environment completely connected to the rest of the property.

It is a cinema room, with a small gym, a bathroom and a kitchenette. In fact, independence was another of the family's main needs. The same idea underlies the important portico, facing south and used as a living room.
