Villa Orizzonte

Villa Orizzonte, designed by UNICA Architects, blends into the surrounding landscape with a gentle gesture of horizontality, where solids and voids define the composition of the spaces.

The villa, situated in the Italian Pianura Padana, is located at the urban edge of a small town facing a river, blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The design seeks maximum integration with the environment, with a southward orientation and a privileged view toward the river. The building is divided into two functional boxes, becoming an extensive terrace open to the horizon with sliding glass doors placed along the entire length. The roof serves as the unifying element of the built volumes, with a balance of voids and solids that define the indoor and outdoor spaces, blending with the vegetation.

The interior spaces are designed to provide the highest levels of comfort and privacy, flexibility, and visual fluidity also enriched by the choice of Italian furniture pieces. The suspended marble-cladded fireplace strongly characterizes the living room and allows visual connection with the rooms and patios. The outdoor porch connects the common areas of the house, the sheet of water of the pool is a mirror for the façade, the sky, and the trees.
Fluidity is enhanced by the window frames embedded into the walls, which open the house outwards, blurring its limits with the landscape.
