Villa Carlo
Villa Carlo is designed with architectural and interior details in consistent and harmonious dialogue – the macro is in the micro. This distilled approach draws focus to modernist form, classical materials and the clients coveted collection of art.
A splice in Villa Carlo's building envelope introduces a sliver of light in the intersection of the entry staircase – a poetic gesture inviting a spirited interplay of shadow and light throughout the day. It's also another nod to Scarpa, where void spaces become a threshold between the natural and built environment.
"Villa Carlo is named in reverence to iconic Italian architect Carlo Scarpa and his modernist masterpiece Tomba Brion (1970-78). At once monumental and meditative, Toma Brion's architecture seems to dissolve at its edges through faceted detailing."
