An elegant combination of architecture and design, achieved through the clever and attentive choice of furniture.
Less than ten minutes by car behind Lake Loverelies there is the quaint village of Rogno, at the entrance to Val Camonica. Here, almost all the houses reflect an architectural style that could be described as “rustic”, except this villa surrounded by rows of vines, in which a decidedly contemporary imprint is evident. Sheet metal roofing, exterior cladding of dry-laid Luserna stone and iron architecture. Only part of the masonry is coloured to balance the play of the architectural volumes of this futuristic house. From the outside we can see, between the green curtain, an extremely well-kept garden and the swimming pool: a cut of blue water reflecting the still snow-capped mountain peaks. Let’s go inside. Crossing the threshold and passing through the entrance, we immediately find ourselves in the living room. The dark grey Hamilton sofa, by Minotti, gathers around it all the space dedicated to conversation, sharing the scene with functional and essential coffee tables, also by Minotti. On the floor we can see the thickly tufted wool carpet by Kasthall, whose colour reflects all the warm whites of this room. Once again, Zenucchi Design Code has left its unmistakable mark! Big names all supplied by S.T.I.P. and installed by Idraulica Salamini Ennio, that also installed the air conditioning and underfloor heating system, as well as the solar panelling system. It is a home predominantly played out in light tones, which we find both in the architectural structure, with an exposed wooden roof and white-painted windows and doors, and in the dècor. Next to the sofa, the black RAM table in crystal and aluminium by Porro runs the full length of the glass wall, cleverly juxtaposed with the timeless white leather Lola chairs by Frau.
A new philosophy of living, which has created a successful combination of architecture and interior design.
Next to the sofa, the black RAM table in crystal and aluminium by Porro runs the full length of the glass wall, cleverly juxtaposed with the timeless white leather Lola chairs by Frau. Opposite, on the wall, there are two glossy lacquered vertical black polyester containers that offer visual continuity to this long slim table. Other storage units can be noted at the base of the columns, on either side of the modern fireplace: this time with a low, elongated shape running along the entire wall. These are container-benches by Porro with a glossy white polyester lacquer finish that blend harmoniously into the architectural context characterised by solids and voids. In fact, one of the characteristics of this architecture, which is also reflected in the furniture, is precisely the play of vertical and horizontal cuts. Spaces in masonry and glass, glossy and matt, material and impalpable textures that are replicated in the choice of decor. An alternation of solids and voids that eliminates any perception of a boundary between indoors and outdoors and between the living places inside the house. The kitchen, for example, is located in a “glass box” in which only one wall is equipped. Concealed, inside, Zenucchi has cleverly positioned the refrigerator, pantry and bar. The kitchen space is open to the living room but, if necessary, it can be closed off by an invisible system consisting of sliding panels. These Rimadesio panels in grey acid-etched glass with an aluminium profile, become a “wall” when necessary. And only then is the kitchen isolated from the other indoor spaces and revolves around Boffi’s Case System counter with its white Corian top. The latter, like all of Boffi’s kitchen furniture, is reflected in the large, low-E, selective windows that act as perspective telescopes to the outdoors. Through them you can see the terrace, overlooking the pool, furnished with outdoor furniture by Coro. In particular, the SG1 armchairs designed by Stefano Gallizzoli, with their nylon-reinforced PVC rod seat and back, blend in perfectly with the colour of the surrounding architectural and natural environment. It is essential and technological furniture, in the spirit of this architecture. A functional and technological project designed by architect Gian Paolo Cassone, who proposed the use of solar and photovoltaic panel systems in this house. Instead, the geothermics is entrusted with the task of cooling. It is the new philosophy of living, which has produced a winning combination of architecture and interior design here.
