Dialogue between context and high living confort residential villa in the centre of Pavia

Villa Luisa rises in a new residential quarter near the center of Pavia. The planning intent was to create a building that reconciling advanced technology, dialogue between context and high living confort. Its rigorous volumes, wedged into each other, creating an articulation of facades that is emphasized by the use of two differents materials, both locals: “Lombard log” and brick. The villa is a gross area of 300 square metres above-ground and 100 sqm underground. The fulcrum of the internal distribution is the glazed tile at the ground floor that releases the porch overlooks the pool, the sleeping area and the living room. An organic dialogue between interior and exterior but also with the independents volumes of the three badrooms with the open block that is arranged on three various levels. Particularly scenographic it is the sitting room accessible from a wood cantilever staircase, suspended between the outdoor swimming pool at the dining area. Much attention has been paid to the design of the openings to the outside: from wells to cover light glazed sliding screens in front of the beds to bathrooms and kitchens; that offer perspective views of the garden. A careful study in lighting meant that even in night scenes you fulfill these spatial perceptions. In the basement there is a cinema room separated by a septum from a SPA with a mini-pool and hot water from a ham-mam. The choice of materials, both local and exotic and precious, both create a unicum that continued even in the furniture. Albeit in an invisible way even closer to the eye, the villa has a cutting-edge technological equipment: active and passive intrusion detection systems, underfloor heating and cooling, geothermal energy, photovoltaic panels, mobile parking platform, home automation.
