Descrizione
Above Minusio, in a private and dominant position, Casa Ai Pozzi opens onto Lake Maggiore with a contemporary, essential and perfectly recognizable architectural language. The villa fits into the landscape with a measured and rigorous presence: a concrete and glass volume, surrounded by greenery, oriented towards the lake and the profile of the mountains.
The property is spread over two levels, defined by continuous glass surfaces that relate the concrete structure with the light, view and depth of the landscape. The architecture is based on a few elements, treated with extreme coherence.
The upper floor houses a large open space of about 180 m², conceived as a single large living space. The living area, the kitchen with island and the convivial spaces are arranged within a bright and continuous volume, crossed by the constant presence of the lake.
The lower floor, also about 180 m², is dedicated to the sleeping area, organized into two distinct areas. The bathrooms on the two levels, one with shower and one with bathtub, are integrated inside two pyramidal concrete pillars, mirroring each other. These elements, in addition to constituting the load-bearing structure of the building, define the formal identity of the villa and mark its space with sculptural force.
The large covered terraces, oriented to the north and south, extend the space towards the garden and introduce private places, designed to experience the relationship with greenery, water and the view at different times of the day.
The name Casa Ai Pozzi recalls the waterways and natural pools that descend from Monte Cardada towards the lake. The project interprets its presence in an architectural key: the water is collected and guided through an upper and lower basin, generating reflections, transparencies and light variations that cross the house and define its iconic character.
Casa Ai Pozzi has been the subject of publications in specialized magazines, confirming itself as one of the most significant design properties in the region.
The property includes an independent annex, with guest apartment and service rooms, a large surrounding garden and several private parking spaces.
You can buy the property as a secondary residence.
Casa Ai Pozzi is a designer villa, intended for those who recognize architecture as a form of thought: rigorous, bright, silent, capable of transforming light, water and landscape into a living experience of rare precision.
