The Ultimate Contemporary Country Villa in Umbria
this elegant country villa is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture that evokes the rigorous aesthetic of richard meier, where white surfaces and light become primary constructive elements.
bold transparencies enhance the natural light, inviting a continuous dialogue with the umbrian landscape. designed by a new zealand architect trained in the meierian tradition, the project plays with solids and voids through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that seamlessly blur the boundaries between indoors and out. the use of white and local limestone amplifies the vibrant colors of nature, creating an atmosphere of rare beauty.
perched in a dominant position overlooking the alviano lake nature reserve, the villa (315 sqm) features most exquisite materials laid on an h-shaped floor plan designed to embrace the panoramic views. the upper level offers a grand double reception room with a fireplace, a spacious kitchen, and three bedrooms - including an independent guest suite with its own fireplace - and four bathrooms, all framed by private porches and terraces. a light-filled internal staircase, set beneath a large skylight, leads to the lower level, which hosts a finnish sauna, technical rooms, and a 44 sqm garage.
outside, the swimming pool and solarium overlook the stunning lake panorama, immersed in 5 hectares of private grounds featuring rose gardens, lavender, and a productive olive grove.
this unique property offers a strategic and pristine location, just minutes from orvieto and only 90 km from rome.
