Historic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury in Torno
Nestled in the historic splendor of Torno, Italy, the Torno apartment reflects a masterful blend of past and present. Designed in 2023 by the innovative Lupettatelier, this residence located within the venerable walls of Villa Plinianina entwines contemporary flair with neogothic intricacy. Constructed in 1855 by Engineer Canzio Canzi, this prestigious structure stands as a celebrated example of eclectic architecture on the placid shores of Lake Como.
Upon entering the apartment, one is immediately enveloped in a well-preserved aura of charm. The first room, a telescopic living area stretching toward the lapping waters, boasts commanding views of the lake. Here, vibrant contemporary furniture in bold colors harmonizes with shifting fabrics and the dusty hues of original frescoes—a balancing act of antiquity and modernism.
A Timeless Culinary Canvas
Transitioning to the kitchen, the seamless unity of precious materials catches the eye. Pristine marble countertops pay homage to the home’s noble heritage, while minimalist fixtures exemplify present-day sensibilities. Natural light bathes the space, accentuating the herringbone wood floors and inviting an experience both culinary and sensory.
Intimate Spaces and Restful Retreats
Further exploration reveals a striking blue salon, an intimate nook that welcomes conversation against the backdrop of a historic fireplace, forming an idyllic haven for leisure and repose. Equally enchanting, the children’s quarters and master bedroom echo the lush lake and mountain scenery, with rich textiles and thematic wallpapers that whisper stories of nature’s enchantment.
Finally, stepping outside, the villa’s terraced gardens present a dialogue between architecture and the enveloping italiano landscape. Tenderly manicured hedges frame serene outdoor sitting areas, promising moments of tranquility and intimate gatherings, all set against the panoramic beauty of Lake Como’s sparkling embrace.
In Torno, Lupettatelier’s tour de force stands not merely as living quarters, but as a testament to design’s power to create harmony between eras, a perfect retreat for the dynamic young couple who call it their vacation home.
