211        VILLA WITH A LARGE PORCH

A minimalist countryside villa with panoramic glass

In response to the clients’ request for a modern home with essential lines that enhances the surrounding park, MIDE architetti designed a single-level villa that interprets the relationship between architecture and nature in a contemporary way. 

The heart of the project is the south-facing open-plan living area, conceived as a true “glass box”: full-height panoramic windows frame the garden, creating a direct visual and perceptual connection with the greenery. A large perimeter porch protects the interior spaces from direct sunlight and creates a natural filter between indoors and outdoors.

The sleeping area, in contrast, is more intimate and private: exposed concrete walls with regular openings offer a balanced dialogue with the exterior while maintaining privacy and comfort.
