Villa Kensho is the latest creation from the innovative minds at Studia 54. Nestled within the historic walls of Palazzo Durini, Villa Kensho promises a unique blend of protection and serenity, thanks to its large roof overhangs and hidden gardens. The villa embodies the thoughtful integration of space ergonomics and site fit. The enclosed landscaped garden, heavy-duty facade materials, panoramic glazing, hidden storm drainage, and smart home system all contribute to a balance between interior and exterior spaces. Villa Kensho reflects a high standard of living, embracing the best elements from various architectural traditions to create a truly global residence.
Inside the Villa, the emphasis is on creating a perfect atmosphere for family and self-development. The villa boasts circular panoramas of nature, carefully maintained landscaping, and advanced automatic control systems for all household functions. The air quality is enhanced with ionization technology, while the modern interiors and specialized rooms cater to every need, presenting a new reality in luxury living.
Villa Kensho features large-scale geoplastics, unique plant arrangements with bonsai and conifers, designer benches, and next-generation lighting controlled through a smart home system. The natural landscape is augmented with static and dynamic water features, supported by a robust hydraulic system, creating a living environment that is both visually stunning and functionally superior. Studia 54 faced the challenge of designing for areas with complex soils and varying climates. Drawing inspiration from classic Japanese gardens, they utilized the “visual distance” technique to reveal the landscape’s beauty, incorporating stone gardens and pots of ukubai around the house.
One of the standout features of the project is its advanced technology, including a fogging system paired with innovative LED lighting. These lights, controlled via a mobile app, can change color and intensity, creating a dynamic and unique ambiance both day and night. Studia 54’s attention to detail is evident in the villa’s facade materials, which include black slate, large-format ceramic tile, natural stone, heat-treated larch, concrete, and painted metal. The architecture is far more than mere aesthetics; it solves complex problems by offering personalized solutions that increase market value over time.
