another hillside moc in the italian countryside, this villa represents building through the ages. the varied roof lines *might* bring to mind various outbuildings that were brought together under one roof, so to speak. this roof design was inspired by ideas from fellow lug member norbert black, who is also responsible for the spectacular artwork that is the centrepiece of the moc - the aquarium fitted into the wall dividing the living room and the indoor/outdoor pool.



the living/dining area enjoys comfortable furniture set upon an italian glazed tile floor. the broad, curvaceous staircase echoing the curved walls of the front of the villa leads to the second living level and the latticed kitchen ceiling, allowing the plants to thrive and decorate both areas simultaneously.



the villa is designed to maximize appreciation of the climate. arched walkways and windows bring the outdoors inside as does the indoor/outdoor pool. large open areas are scattered in the upper level to enjoy the pool, the view and the breeze from the valley. poolside furniture sits on a balcony overlooking the living area. the front stoned terrace overlooks the valley and is furnished to enjoy the sun and the view.

sleeping accomodations are found off an enclosed corridor on the main level and the master bedroom with ensuite is on the second level near the pool. a second staircase joins the two sleeping quarters.

the moc itself is modular and sits upon a base that houses the regulator controlling the lighting for the aquarium.



after moderation and the furniture featured.

hope you enjoy this brief trip to the italian countryside. arrivederci.
