Conservation and Renovation of “Villa Fürstenberg” Marocco (Venice), 2008 – Private client

2004-2008

The Project
The new use of the complex included the use of agricultural annexes at a credit institution’s office, while a guest house would be housed in the villa. This involved a project of recovery in the buildings of the former where, alongside the preservation and restoration of the original structures and finishes, with contemporary architectural solutions, the elements of the distributor made functional use of the new destination of use through new Horizontal and vertical paths made of metal and glass. Rigorously conservative was the intervention in the residential body where the fresh and dry decorative furniture was carefully restored in the rooms, in the theater, in the pool, and in the winter garden; the latter had been realized following an intervention by architect Vietti in the 1940s. The need to provide urgent consolidation required the dismounting of some decorated ceilings to be able to intervene in structural consolidation from below, without being able to demolish the precious “Venetian beat” floor above. All the decorative apparatus could thus be restored including the interior and exterior finishes. Conservatory restoration was also the small little church in the park built in the late nineteenth century. The project developed in the three stages of the preliminary, definitive and executive. The intervention was carried out.
