This eighteenth
century stone villa, in a small village North of Lucca, presented
a unique challenge: while the street façade was grand and
elegant, the interior distribution, with small rooms and low ceilings,
did not live up to the façade’s standard. The main
intervention here was to create a double-height room in the center
of the house. This grand living room became the core around which
the entire house was organized, opening onto the dining room,
library and entrance hall on the ground floor, and connecting
all the bedrooms on the second floor.
