This “Villa San Valentino” was built with a main task from the clients to “plan a bi-familiar house on high architectonic level for the cohabitation of 3 generations with common spaces”. Bi-familiar house there could be translated into its unique façade, the twisted villa boasts wood façade which makes it blend with its surroundings or according to the architects is to “answer to the characteristics of local mountains”. The high architectonic level also could be translated into a sophisticated design. This twisted villa is not only twisted, each end of the house is widened and the middle part is lowered down a bit to create the dramatic design. There, just above the main entrance the façade is expanded to the front, creating a shelter for the entrance area. This glass entrance with its courtyard and the series of skylights of the underground level create a strong sense of modern style, enhancing the sense of sophisticated design. From the rear, the natural rounded wood cladding is combined with the clean white façade with its black accents. The need for space for three generations should be overcome with its massive structure while inside this structure, the design is quite simple and clean. The modern interior design of this house is also done with wood accents, creating warmth interior. We would find some other interior photos of this home/villa since these pictures don’t reveal the real atmosphere in this house. But at least, the Austrian architect Stephan Unger still do the family a justice by installing large floor to ceiling windows at each end of this house. It is a real sin for not capturing the amazing views of this location in Merano-Alto Adige, Italy. Due to the respect to the nature, the architect was also adding some energy efficient features. Really exquisite!.
