Hill of the ArtsLocation: Turin, Italy2020
Built in the 1730s, Villa Altissimo sits nestled on a hill, overlooking. Turin, witnessing the history and development of the city. The design intervention embraces the cultural history of Turin as an important place in Italty that celebrates food, drink, and art. The program for the project is a hotel, gallery space, spa and artist residences.

The new site is harmonious blend of landscape, history, art, architecture, and culture. A retreat for relaxation, contemplation, and connection with others. This design celebrates and preserves the history and context of Villa Altissimo while also embracing contemporary ideas of art and architecture. The exterior elements of the existing buildings on the site have been largely preserved while the interiors have been revitalized with contemporary materials and clean, modern lines. Respecting both the old and the new, equally.
