Villa C by La Leta Architettura

Villa C by La Leta Architettura features three levels and is located in Mondello, Italy. The addition of two cuts in the layout, with exterior walls made of stone, illuminate and connect the lower level to the garden.

Villa C’s bedrooms are on the lower level, including a primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a secondary bedroom with a guest bathroom and a guest room with a closet.

Additionally, the multi-level home features a sloped roof that engages with the surrounding landscape, the facade remains intact and has a “clear inspiration [from] Wright” according to La Leta Architettura.

La Leta Architettura renovated Villa C’s interior and searched for ways to “enhance” the original home with compositions of light, form and materials, such as white plaster and stone on the exterior walls.

The main level includes a living room and kitchen, which opens to the garden through a horizontal window.

An additional level features an “attic” area intended for guests and relaxation including space for a small terrace.

Furniture pieces organised throughout the house include a mix of standard and custom designs made from wood, walnut Alpiwood composite and other materials all unified by warm tones.

In the carved stone space, the bedrooms have a custom, full-height frame-less door with 2.5 meter high wood panels.

On the uppermost level, a custom sliding door brings organisation to the space, separating spaces and concealing, storage elements like a bookcase-container.

A square spiral staircase is the one connecting element for the villa’s various levels. The leading bearing wall features track lights and serves as a visual filter between levels.
