Essential Forms in Their Purest Expression

A minimalist architecture that highlights the relationship between space, light, and material.

Designed by architects Ruggero Ballabio and Lorenzo Porro, this contemporary villa stands out for its pure lines, essential volumes, and a perfect balance between solids and voids. Created to integrate with the landscape without overpowering it, the strict geometries and clean surfaces generate an atmosphere of understated elegance. The design emphasizes the simplicity of form, allowing light and space to establish a harmonious dialogue between architecture and the surrounding park.

Large windows and transparent railings provide unobstructed views of Lake Como, ensuring continuity between interior and exterior while reinforcing the bond between the home and its natural environment. Every phase of construction was carried out with the utmost precision, ensuring a flawless execution that respects the project’s architectural vision. The final result is an exclusive residence that blends formal rigor with visual lightness, demonstrating how simplicity can become true sophistication.
