Brutalist villa in the heart of Monferrato - Alessandria.
In Valenza, in a hilly position overlooking the valley and immersed in the nature of Monferrato, there is this villa built in the 70s based on a design by the architect Enzo Testa, inspired by the studies and works of Le Corbusier.
The property stands out for its brutalist architectural imprint, in which the exposed concrete dialogues with the light, the landscape and the natural conformation of the land.
The house develops following the morphology of the hill, with a sequence of volumes that gradually open towards the valley.
Each space is designed to blend in with the outside, offering unexpected views and a sense of continuity between inside and nature. The fan-shaped structure allows you to take advantage of sunlight at different times of the day, from morning to evening.
Interior spaces
The villa is spread over several staggered levels, in harmony with the surrounding landscape, creating a fluid and dynamic distribution of the spaces.
Living area: a large living room with floor-to-ceiling windows opens directly onto the garden, framing the hilly panorama. The interiors are characterized by generous heights, exposed concrete and custom-made wooden furnishings.
Sleeping area: 4 bedrooms with panoramic views and direct access to the outside. Each room is designed to ensure privacy, natural light and material continuity.
Services and ancillary rooms: kitchen, dining room, office-study, bathrooms with original period finishes, tavern, cellar, technical rooms and laundry.
Outdoor spaces and services
The 10,000 m² of land surrounding the villa includes a garden, a tree-lined park, a vegetable garden and offers a large surface area for outdoor living in every season.
Outside there are numerous architectural elements that interact with the environment: low walls, walkways and terraces in rough concrete accompany the house along the slope.
All the rooms of the house communicate with the outside and offer spaces dedicated to conviviality and relaxation.
