70’s Modernism

Private House – Marina di Pietrasanta, Italy.

2021 / completed

The project is the renovation of a modernist villa from the late 1960s, set in a truly special context: the “Versiliana” park in Marina di Pietrasanta, Lucca.

Surrounded by approximately 2.000sqm of garden, the idea was to maintain some special elements of the house, including inspirations from the American’s modernist school but still with the flavor of an Italian era typical of this context.

For a total surface of 150sqm, the house is developed on two levels: at the ground floor, we demolished every internal partition to create a unique and very bright space with the effect of continuity between inside and outside to feel surrounded by the park. Going up the original staircase we find the sleeping area, with three suites, each with its own internal bathroom covered in 10×10 tiles as a classic modernist inspiration.

We also developed all the new external areas, including the decking and a 16×4 meters swimming pool all covered with a “verde Alpi” stone and in continuity with the green’s tones of the park.
