Historic Architecture Meets Contemporary Living: Attic Renovation in a 16th-Century Villa

Within a 16th-century villa overlooking the Riviera del Brenta, just steps from Villa Pisani, this project blends historical heritage with contemporary interior design. The restoration of the ancient attic—now a bright and refined penthouse—enhances the villa’s original identity while introducing a renewed sense of comfort and modernity.

Large openings on all four sides fill the spaces with natural light, emphasizing the dialogue between the historic structure and the new architectural intervention. The river-facing open space combines living room, dining area and kitchen in a fluid, airy layout, while the more intimate sleeping area looks onto the English-style garden.

A central staircase leads to the mezzanine, a hybrid zone designed for both study and relaxation, directly connected to the dormer window on the main façade. Neutral resin flooring, dark wooden beams and restored original plasters create a balanced, material harmony. Interior volumes—intentionally set below the height of the beams—maintain visual continuity throughout the attic.
