Domestic Horizons in Cerea. A single-level villa that privileges light and spatial quality.

The project, designed by architects Luigi Merlin and Filippo Zago from Studio Bomer, stems from the client’s desire to live in a serene environment, surrounded by agricultural land yet close to the services of the nearby town. The single-family residence is developed on one level within a large plot of approximately 11,000 sqm.

The building features an articulated floor plan and an essential architectural language, defined by linear volumes topped with flat roofs and wide overhangs. Its unconventional orientation was conceived to create an intimate and sheltered space: the swimming pool area, formed by the intersection of the two main wings, is hidden from public view and becomes the private heart of the house.

Large glazed openings connect the interiors with the garden, the pool, and the rear park, establishing a strong continuity with the outdoors. Once surrounded by cultivated fields, the plot has been enriched with tall trees along the north and west sides, creating a natural frame that enhances the sense of tranquility.

Special attention was given to energy performance: the load-bearing structure is made of wood with X-LAM panels, external insulation in black cork, and internal mineral wool insulation with dry plasterboard partitions. The roof, insulated with wood fiber, accommodates a 19 kWp photovoltaic system and solar thermal panels for domestic hot water production. The house is also equipped with a mechanical ventilation system, ensuring high levels of comfort and energy efficiency.

The residents’ well-being is ensured by a fully equipped SPA area featuring a whirlpool bath, Experience Shower, and Finnish sauna.
